Prevalence and environmental risk factors for ten zoonoses in two cree communities of James Bay (Canada
Zoonoses are diseases transmitted from animals to humans and populations in close contact to wildlife are more at risk to contracting them. A study to document the seroprevalence for ten zoonotic infections was conducted in the Cree communities of Eastmain and Wemindji (Canada) in 2007. The general …
