The goal of this study was to determine serological evidence for the exposure to these bacteria in cattle and humans with occupational exposure to livestock in the subregions North and Magdalena Medio, Antioquia, Colombia, and to explore related factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 48 livestock farms distributed in six municipalities from both subregions: Belmira, Entrerr\u00edos and San Pedro de los Milagros (North), and Puerto Berr\u00edo, Puerto Nare and Puerto Triunfo (Magdalena Medio). Blood samples from 332 people and 384 bovines were evaluated by serology (IgM and IgG) screening for bacteria from the Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Rickettsia, and Coxiella genera. Seropositivity in humans from both regions was 42.4% (95%CI: 31.2-55.1) for Anaplasma, 74.2% (95%CI: 66.0-84.4) for Ehrlichia, 72.5% (95%CI: 62.1-82.0) for Rickettsia, and 60.7% (95%CI: 59.7-69.1) for Coxiella burnetii. In cattle, seropositivity was 31.6% (95%CI: 19.9-44.2), 66.8% (95%CI: 55.2-78.1), 64.6% (95%CI: 53.8-74.5), and 61.6% (95%CI: 51.9-69.2), respectively. History of biting by ticks, milking, vaccination, having dogs and hens in the residence, as well as the consumption of raw milk derivatives were some factors associated with the infection by the bacteria studied. The results suggest a previous and recent exposure to these zoonotic bacteria genera in people with occupational exposure to livestock, as well as in cattle in the two studied subregions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0102-311x00193617","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,10]],"date-time":"2018-10-10T20:47:10Z","timestamp":1539204430000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Serological evidence of exposure to some zoonotic microorganisms in cattle and humans with occupational exposure to livestock in Antioquia, Colombia"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Marcela Patricia","family":"Eraso-Cadena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Licet Paola","family":"Molina-Guzm\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Colombia; Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ximena","family":"Cardona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"COLANTA, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaiberth Antonio","family":"Cardona-Arias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leonardo Alberto","family":"R\u00edos-Osorio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lina Andrea","family":"Gutierrez-Builes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Emerging tickborne diseases 2017."},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Informe de un comit\u00e9 de expertos de la salud (OMS), con participaci\u00f3n de la FAO.","year":"1982"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Censo Pecuario Nacional, 2016."},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"1","article-title":"Garrapatas caracter\u00edsticas anat\u00f3micas, epidemiol\u00f3gicas y ciclo vital.
