Although the Q fever causative agent has presented a variety of infection sources, its epidemiology remains to be fully established in vulnerable populations. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate the presence and dynamics of anti- antibodies and associated risk factors in incarcerated women, correctional officers and in-prison feral cats of a major Brazilian penitentiary complex in a one-year interval. Overall, 139/413 (33.7 %) inmates in 2020 and 68/166 (41.0 %) in 2021 were seropositive to by the indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). A statistical association was observed between seropositivity and inmate ethnicity ( = 0.0173), with Black individuals 2-fold more likely seropositive. No feral cat sample was seropositive. The one-year seroincidence was 14.5. The seroincidence and associated risk factors herein have been the first to during incarceration worldwide, serving as a One Health approach warning of Q Fever behind bars.
尽管Q热病原体存在多种感染源，但其在弱势群体中的流行病学仍有待充分明确。因此，本研究旨在调查巴西一个主要监狱综合体中被监禁女性、狱警和监狱野猫在一年时间内抗 抗体的存在情况、动态变化及相关危险因素。总体而言，2020年139/413（33.7%）名囚犯和2021年68/166（41.0%）名囚犯通过间接免疫荧光试验（IFA）检测 呈血清阳性。血清阳性与囚犯种族之间存在统计学关联（ = 0.0173），黑人个体血清阳性的可能性是其他人的2倍。没有野猫样本呈血清阳性。一年的血清发病率为14.5。本文中的血清发病率及相关危险因素在全球范围内首次在监禁期间被 ，作为一种“同一健康”方法，对监狱内的Q热发出警告。
