Exploring Histoplasma species seroprevalence and risk factors for seropositivity in The Gambia’s working equid population: Baseline analysis of the Tackling Histoplasmosis project dataset
High <i>Histoplasma</i> spp. exposure was demonstrated amongst equids in The Gambia. Investigation of risk factors, including equid husbandry and management strategies, as well as geoclimatic variations, is warranted. Outcomes may inform sustainable and equitable EL control strategies in The Gambia and comparable settings worldwide.
