[Sero-epidemiological studies of zoonotic infections in hunters--comparative analysis with veterinarians, farmers, and abattoir workers].

Blood samples were taken from 146 male 3 female hunters provinces Styria Burgenland south-east Austria anamnestic data obtained using a questionnaire. serological investigations included following bacterial, viral parasitic agents or zoonoses, respectively (antibody prevalence rates brackets): borreliosis (IgG 42%, IgM 7%), brucellosis (1%), chlamydiosis (3%), ehrlichiosis 15%, 3%), leptospirosis (10%), tularaemia Q fever (0%), encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV, 15%), Puumala-Hantavirus Newcastle Disease (4%), Echinococcus multilocularis/E. granulosus (5%/11%), toxocariasis (17%). Particularly striking comparison control group veterinarians, farmers slaughterhouse workers examined earlier projects high Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Ehrlichia spp., Leptospira interrogans, E. multilocularis, encephalomyocarditis, as well Brucella abortus Francisella tularensis. present indicates that are especially exposed pathogens.
