ive looked but i cant find it

Research just makes it easier and faster to treat the affected animals and helps prevent the future outbreaks but you don’t need to research anything to take care of the existing problem. Just call your vet and he/she will take the animals into quarantine.

But yes, Q-fever is among the researchable topics in Vet Research. Look again, you just missed it. Try to research every disease, it is highly beneficial.

it wasnt there because my vet was researching, so they didnt go to the animal which then unlocked it, thanks anyway

What do you mean by it was not there? It is always there.

Some diseases are not researchable, do not show in research, until the vet finds it in a habitat. Weird but it happens.

yeah, im in franchise so maybe thats why

[grampers62]

It does seem like it is a franchise event.

I play in franchise and Q fever is absolutely among the available research, I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

[grampers62]

Most players will not notice as they don't research diseases till they get the notice that it exists. But early on when I was doing the research achievement I discovered this was a thing as I clearly needed to research something though everything I had available was researched fully. Fortunately some animals got sick which opened up research ,I think it was monkeypox, so that I could complete the achievement.

you have to discover it, the only reason i couldnt see it was because i hadnt discovered it, i didnt realise all my vets were researching other things. So no vets were able to go heal the animals, so no discovery

No, you don't have "to discover" anything. Everything, including Q fever an any other disease is available for research from the very beginning in any mode in every zoo.

If it indeed was not, then you encountered a weird bug. Not a feature. The situation with your vets researching something else at the moment of the outbreak and therefore not running to the habitat right away has nothing to do with the fact that you had (or supposed to have in a non-bugged game) Q fever among your available research options BEFORE the outbreak.

@grampers
Monkeypox is available from the beginning as well.

You guys crack me up.

[grampers62]

Even after researching everything in a franchise, a new zoo does not show every research item.

I think I agree with Ellorien. All the disease research is always available to do when a new zoo is opened. The animal research can only be done when you have that certain animal in the zoo, obviously, but the disease research can be done at anytime. When your vet or keeper discovers an ill animal in quarantine or in a habitat, the disease does become highlighted as "active" in the research tab, but it was always there. In my first franchise zoo, I researched all the diseases while only actually having very few disease cases happen in my zoo. I've never had a case of Q fever or monkey pox but I have them fully researched.

Perhaps something has changed in an update? No idea. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't recall not having all the diseases available, in any mode.

I think it important to say I am not trying to discredit anyone or say that anyone is wrong but rather report my observations on the subject. Like I said earlier I experienced the same situation as the op did. I also would remind others that it is very clear that some players have experiences that others do not and some just do not really notice some things.
