Coxiella burnetii is an underreported zoonotic pathogen in many rural regions globally. We investigated C. burnetii exposure in a remote indigenous tribe residing in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. The high seroprevalence of 35% (95% CI, 27-43%) demonstrates the need for One Health studies to identify risk factors, clinical impact, and potential medical, veterinary, and environmental interventions.
考克斯氏体在许多全球农村地区都是一种报道较少的动物源性致病菌。我们调查了居住在哥伦比亚圣玛尔塔内华达山脉的一个偏远土著部落中的考克斯氏体暴露情况。35%的高血清阳性率(95%CI,27-43%)表明需要开展一次健康研究,以确定风险因素、临床影响以及潜在的医学、兽医和环境干预措施。
