  • Over 90% of legionellosis cases are caused by Legionella pneumophila, the bacterium responsible for Legionnaires' disease, also known as Legion Fever. However, other species include Legionella longbeachae, Legionella feeleii, Legionella micdadei and Legionella anisa. These species cause a lesser, non-fatal, acute infectious process known as Pontiac fever that resembles acute influenza.

Usage examples
  • Legionelloosi tekitajate reservuaariks on sooja- ja külmavee süsteemid, purskkaevud, kliima- ja ventilatsiooniseadmed, veekogud ja pinnas. Haigustekitajad levivad tolm- ja aerosoolnakkuse teel. Tervishoiutöötaja jälgib sama levikufaktoriga seotud uute haigusjuhtude ilmumist kümne päeva jooksul pärast kokkupuudet ohuteguriga. ... Legionelloosipuhangud esinevad hotellides, laagrites, haiglates, töökollektiivides. Puhangu likvideerimiseks eemaldatakse haiged ja nakatuda võivad inimesed ohupiirkonnast ning kahjutustatakse levikufaktorid.
