(B)牛、綿羊、山羊等反芻獸感染時多呈不顯性感染，偶爾會出現輕微發熱、流產、羊感染會出現支氣管肺炎及粉紅眼，病原對乳房及胎盤具有高度親和性，因此會經由子宮排出物、胎盤、糞便和乳汁散佈病原。In addition, 102 dairy goats farms and three dairy sheep farms were confirmed Q fever positive but without reported abortion storms during the epidemic (see Table 10.1 in Roest (2013)).An increase in Q fever incidence in humans was observed with increasing proximity to goat farms with abortion storms (Schimmer et al., 2010). (C)曾經因其神似立克氏體 (Rickettsia) 而命名為Rickettsia burnetii，但後來發現其與Rickettsia有些許不同，故最後定名為Coxiella burnetii。(D)感染的胎兒通常沒有明顯病理學變化，偶可見肉芽腫性肝炎及非化膿性肺炎參考：Q熱，邱慧英 財團法人台灣動物科技研究所 動物醫學組參考：Analysis of Q fever in Dutch dairy goat herds and assessment of control measures by means of a transmission model
