Evidence of exposure to seven zoonotic infections, namely\n Trichinella<\/jats:italic>\n spp.,\n Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Toxocara canis<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Echinococcus granulosus<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Leptospira<\/jats:italic>\n spp.,\n Coxiella burnetii,<\/jats:italic>\n and\n Francisella tularensis,<\/jats:italic>\n was sought in sera from 267 residents of Chisasibi (166) and Waskaganish (101). Study participants responded to questionnaires documenting socio-demographic characteristics and hunting and trapping activities. Associations were assessed by univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis. High seroprevalence rates were documented for\n Leptospira<\/jats:italic>\n spp. (23%),\n Francisella tularensis<\/jats:italic>\n (18%), and\n Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>\n (9%). Seroprevalence rates of less than 5% were observed for\n Coxiella burnetii<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Echinococcus granulosus,<\/jats:italic>\n and\n Toxocara canis<\/jats:italic>\n . No subject exhibited serological proof of\n Trichinella<\/jats:italic>\n spp. exposure in either community. Serological evidence of exposure to\n Leptospira<\/jats:italic>\n spp. and\n T. gondii<\/jats:italic>\n was greater in Chisasibi than in Waskaganish, while the\n T. canis<\/jats:italic>\n seroprevalence rate was higher in Waskaganish than in Chisasibi. Handling of rabbits was associated with seropositivity for\n Leptospira<\/jats:italic>\n spp. Statistical trends were also detected between the handling of ducks and exposure to\n Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>\n , and between both handling animals without gloves and springtime hunting activities and\n Leptospira<\/jats:italic>\n spp. seropositivity in Chisasibi and Waskaganish, respectively. A review of the medical records revealed few clinical events potentially related to zoonotic exposures. However, public health authorities and health care workers in these communities should be alert to the risk of these zoonoses.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2011.0739","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,4]],"date-time":"2012-01-04T15:47:14Z","timestamp":1325692034000},"page":"473-481","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Zoonotic Infections in Native Communities of James Bay, Canada"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Hugues","family":"Sampasa-Kanyinga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Axe Sant\u00e9 des Populations et Environnement","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benoit","family":"L\u00e9vesque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Axe Sant\u00e9 des Populations et Environnement","place":["Canada"]},{"name":"Institut national de sant\u00e9 publique du Qu\u00e9bec","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elhadji","family":"Anassour-Laouan-Sidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Axe Sant\u00e9 des Populations et Environnement","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suzanne","family":"C\u00f4t\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Axe Sant\u00e9 des Populations et Environnement","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bouchra","family":"Serhir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de sant\u00e9 publique du Qu\u00e9bec","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian J.","family":"Ward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGill University","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael D.","family":"Libman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montreal General Hospital","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael A.","family":"Drebot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Agency of Canada","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Momar","family":"Ndao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGill University","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00c9ric","family":"Dewailly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Axe Sant\u00e9 des Populations et Environnement","place":["Canada"]},{"name":"Institut national de sant\u00e9 publique du Qu\u00e9bec","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","first-page":"1344","article-title":"[Acute leptospirosis in children in Reunion Island: a retrospective review of 16 cases]","volume":"12","author":"Agesilas F","year":"2005","unstructured":"Agesilas F, , Gey F, , Monbrunt A et al.
