Cross-Canada Variability in Blood Donor SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence by Social Determinants of Health
We compared the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 anti-nucleocapsid antibodies in blood donors across Canadian regions in 2021. The seroprevalence was the highest in Alberta and the Prairies, and it was so low in Atlantic Canada that few correlates were ...

Prevalence of Anti-Leptospira Antibodies in Bovines (2018-2023) and Reported Serovars and Serogroups-A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
A high global prevalence of anti‐Leptospira antibodies in cattle and buffaloes (39.5%) was identified, highlighting the widespread distribution of the bacterium and the need for increased attention to bovine leptospirosis. The prevalence of anti‐Leptospira antibodies was higher on dual‐purpose farms, but there were no significant differences between ...

Hepatitis A seroprevalence in Tuscany, Italy [PDF]
Information regarding the current seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) is useful for the control of HAV infections. The objective of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of anti-HAV antibodies among children (1-5 years old) and young adults (15-20 years old) in Tuscany, in central Italy.

Predicting the distribution of canine leishmaniasis in western Europe based on environmental variables. [PDF]
The domestic dog is the reservoir host of Leishmania infantum, the causative agent of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis endemic in Mediterranean Europe. Targeted control requires predictive risk maps of canine leishmaniasis (CanL), which are now explored ...

Seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in Vojvodina
Introduction Toxoplasmosis is an acute infectious anthropozoonotic disease with mild asymptomatic clinical manifestations in immunocompetent persons and more severe in immunocompromised patients. Acute infection in pregnancy can result in severe congenital toxoplasmosis with severe sequels.

Seroprevalence of Wenzhou virus in China
Wenzhou virus (WENV) was first identified in rodents and Asian house shrews in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. However, little is known about the prevalence of WENV infections in humans in China. To determine the threat that WENV may pose to humans, we determine the seroprevalence of WENV in healthy individuals in China in this study.
