| dc.description.abstract | Co-infection, especially with pathogens of dissimilar genetic makeup, may result in a more
devastating impact on the host. Investigations on co-infection with neglected zoonotic pathogens in wildlife are necessary to inform appropriate prevention and control strategies to
reduce disease burden in wildlife and the potential transmission of these pathogens
between wildlife, livestock and humans. This study assessed co-exposure of various Kenyan wildflife species with Brucella spp, Coxiella burnetii and Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). | en_US |
