Q fever in French Guiana is correlated with the rainy season. We found a 1- to 2-month lagged correlation between Q fever incidence and the number of births of three-toed sloth. This result strengthens the hypothesis that the three-toed sloth is the wild reservoir of Q fever in French Guiana.
法属圭亚那的Q热与雨季相关。我们发现Q热发病率与三趾树懒的出生数量之间存在1至2个月的滞后相关性。这一结果强化了三趾树懒是法属圭亚那Q热野生宿主的假说。
