Global and regional seroprevalence of coxiellosis in small ruminants: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coxiellosis is a neglected zoonosis for occupationally exposed people in many parts of the world. Sheep and goats are two important small ruminants that act as reservoirs for human contamination; however, there is a lack of comprehensive data on the epidemiological aspects of coxiellosis in sheep and goats at regional and global levels.
