Q fever is primarily found in agricultural areas where livestock, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, are raised. It can occur worldwide, with notable outbreaks reported in Australia, the United States, and parts of Europe. The disease is caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii, which can be transmitted to humans through inhalation of contaminated dust or contact with infected animals and their products.
