The article describes the epidemiological characteristics of Q fever in Croatia, during the period before and after the Homeland War. In the ten years prior to the Homeland War (1983-1992) 1053 cases of Q fever were recorded, 16.2% (171) of which on islands and in coastal areas. In the period after the Homeland War (1995-2008), a total of 654 cases was recorded, 59.9% (392) of which on islands and in coastal areas. In addition to reduced incidence, geographic distribution of the disease also changed. Before the war, the highest morbidity rate was recorded in the Sisak-Moslavina County. After the war, the Split-Dalmatia County recorded the highest morbidity rate because in the post-war period sheep from Bosnia and Herzegovina went to this county for winter grazing. The disease might be relevant to the Croatian Army and other armed forces that stay in Croatia as part of NATO forces.
本文描述了克罗地亚在祖国战争前后时期Q热的流行病学特征。在祖国战争前的十年（1983 - 1992年），记录了1053例Q热病例，其中16.2%（171例）发生在岛屿和沿海地区。在祖国战争后的时期（1995 - 2008年），共记录了654例病例，其中59.9%（392例）发生在岛屿和沿海地区。除发病率降低外，该疾病的地理分布也发生了变化。战前，西斯卡-莫斯塔尔县的发病率最高。战后，斯普利特-达尔马提亚县的发病率最高，因为战后波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的绵羊会前往该县进行冬季放牧。该疾病可能与克罗地亚军队以及作为北约部队一部分留在克罗地亚的其他武装部队有关。
