Coxiella burnetii (Q fever) prevalence in associated populations of humans and small ruminants in The Gambia

To simultaneously estimate the prevalence of antibodies against Coxiella burnetii (Q fever) among adults and small ruminants, and C. burnetii shedding prevalence among small ruminants in households in the Kiang West district of The Gambia, and to assess associated risk factors.
