Q fever update, Maritime Canada

Emerg Infect Dis. 2008 Jan;14(1):67-9. doi: 10.3201/eid1401.071256.

Abstract

Since the 1990s, reports of Q fever in Nova Scotia, Canada, have declined. Passive surveillance for Q fever in Nova Scotia and its neighboring provinces in eastern Canada indicates that the clinical manifestation of Q fever in the Maritime provinces is pneumonia and that incidence of the disease may fluctuate.
