However, less is known about the role of wildlife and livestock in spreading the virus. Therefore, we aimed to assess how the interactions between African buffalo (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Syncerus caffer<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and cattle may influence the seroprevalence of CCHF across livestock-wildlife management systems in Kenya. The study included archived sera samples from buffalo and cattle from wildlife only habitats (Lake Nakuru National Park and Solio conservancy), open wildlife-livestock integrated habitats (Maasai Mara ecosystem and Meru National Park), and closed wildlife-livestock habitats (Ol Pejeta Conservancy) in Kenya. We analyzed 191 buffalo and 139 cattle sera using IDvet multispecies, double-antigen IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The seroprevalence toward Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) was significantly higher for buffalo compared to cattle (75.3% and 28.1%, respectively,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). We obtained the highest seroprevalence among buffalo of 92.1% in closed wildlife only systems compared to 28.8% and 46.1% prevalence in closed-integrated and open-integrated systems, respectively. The regression coefficients were all negative for cattle compared to buffalo in both closed-integrated and open-integrated compared to wildlife only system. Our results show that CCHFV circulates among the diverse animal community in Kenya in spatially disconnected foci. The habitat overlap between cattle and buffalo makes cattle a \u201cbridge species\u201d or superspreader host for CCHFV and increases transmission risks to humans. The effect of animal management system on prevalence is depended on tick control on the cattle and not the animal\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">per se<\/jats:italic>\n                    . We conclude that buffalo, a host with a longer life span than livestock, is a reservoir and may serve as a sentinel population for longitudinal surveillance of CCHFV.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2021.0024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,24]],"date-time":"2021-09-24T11:43:58Z","timestamp":1632483838000},"page":"809-816","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Livestock Presence Influences the Seroprevalence of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus on Sympatric Wildlife in Kenya"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Vincent","family":"Obanda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Services, Kenya Wildlife Service, Nairobi, Kenya."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernard","family":"Agwanda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mammalogy, National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4066-9046","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel","family":"Blanco-Penedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Veterinary Epidemiology, Department of Clinical Sciences, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irene Ann","family":"Mwangi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology, Kenya AIDs Vaccine Initiative Institute of Clinical Research, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"King'ori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Services, Kenya Wildlife Service, Nairobi, Kenya."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2041-4457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"George P.","family":"Omondi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Population Medicine, University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA."},{"name":"Ahadi Veterinary Resource Center, Nairobi, Kenya."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clas","family":"Ahlm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Microbiology, Ume\u00e5 University, Ume\u00e5, Sweden."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6034-4807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magnus","family":"Evander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Microbiology, Ume\u00e5 University, Ume\u00e5, Sweden."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivia Wesula","family":"Lwande","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Microbiology, Ume\u00e5 University, Ume\u00e5, Sweden."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2017.02.018"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/fee.1501"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_4_1","volume-title":"Syncerus caffer","author":"Amulyoto M.","unstructured":"Amulyoto M.
