Seroprevalence of zoonoses in a Cree community (Canada).

摘要: Cree trappers and hunters are at risk for contracting infectious diseases conveyed by wildlife. We performed a study in community (Canada) to determine the seroprevalence of 8 zoonotic infections among evidence exposure Trichinella sp., Toxoplasma gondii, Toxocara canis, Echinococcus granulosus, Leptospira Coxiella burnetii, Francisella tularensis, Sin Nombre virus. A total 50 participants (28 women 22 men) were included this study. Results indicate no or infrequent virus (0%) 3 4 parasites investigated (0–4%). Exposure T. gondii (10%) some bacteria appeared be more prevalent (range, 4–18%). Overall, seropositivity was related fishing, hunting, trapping activities. Physicians should aware these population, particularly Q fever, tularemia, leptospirosis.
