The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of seven zoonotic infections among the permanent residents of Nunavik. The study was conducted in the fall 2004 as part of the Nunavik Health Survey. Blood samples from adults aged 18\u201374\u2003years (<jats:italic>n\u2003<\/jats:italic>=\u2003917) were collected and analysed for the presence of antibodies against <jats:italic>Trichinella<\/jats:italic> spp., <jats:italic>Toxocara canis, Echinococcus granulosus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Brucella<\/jats:italic> spp., <jats:italic>Coxiella burnetii<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic> spp. and <jats:italic>Francisella tularensis<\/jats:italic>. Information on sociodemographic characteristics, traditional activities, drinking water supply and nutrition was gathered using english\/inuktitut bilingual questionnaires. The chi\u2010squared test was used to evaluate associations between seropositivity and other measured variables. Statistically significant variables were included in a multivariate logistic regression model to control for confounding factors. Estimated seroprevalences were 8.3% for <jats:italic>E. granulosus<\/jats:italic>, 3.9% for <jats:italic>T. canis<\/jats:italic>, 5.9% for <jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic> spp. and 18.9% for <jats:italic>F. tularensis<\/jats:italic>. Seroprevalence was \u22641% for <jats:italic>Trichinella spiralis<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Brucella<\/jats:italic> spp. and <jats:italic>C. burnetii<\/jats:italic>. For most infections, seropositivity tended to increase with age. In multivariate analyses, seroprevalence was positively (i.e. directly) associated with age and residence in the Ungava coast area for <jats:italic>F. tularensis<\/jats:italic>; age and residence in the Hudson coast area for <jats:italic>T. canis<\/jats:italic>; female gender, lower level of schooling and frequent cleaning of water reservoirs for <jats:italic>E. granulosus<\/jats:italic>. No risk factor for <jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic> spp. infection was identified. No associations were detected with regards to food habits or environmental exposures. A small but significant portion of the Nunavik population has serologic evidence of exposure to at least one of the pathogenic microorganisms investigated. Further studies are needed to better understand the mechanisms for transmission of zoonotic infections and their potential reservoirs in Nunavik.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1863-2378.2011.01424.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,21]],"date-time":"2011-07-21T03:45:36Z","timestamp":1311219936000},"page":"107-117","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Seroprevalence of Seven Zoonotic Infections in Nunavik, Quebec <b>(<\/b>Canada<b>)<\/b>"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"V.","family":"Messier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"L\u00e9vesque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.\u2010F.","family":"Proulx","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Rochette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Serhir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Couillard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.
