  abstract = {{C}oxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of {Q} fever, a worldwide zoonosis that can result in large outbreaks. {T}he birth of genomics and sequencing of {C}. burnetii strains has revolutionized many fields of study of this infection. {A}ccurate genotyping methods and comparative genomic analysis have enabled description of the diversity of strains around the world and their link with pathogenicity. {G}enomics has also permitted the development of q{PCR} tools and axenic culture medium, facilitating the diagnosis of {Q} fever. {M}oreover, several pathophysiological mechanisms can now be predicted and therapeutic strategies can be determined thanks to in silico genome analysis. {A}n extensive pan-genomic analysis will allow for a comprehensive view of the clonal diversity of {C}. burnetii and its link with virulence.},
