Hantavirus antibody seroprevalence and risk factors among adults in West Kazakhstan, 2023
Overall, the seroprevalence was low, but indicated some risk of infection among the adult population. Our results highlight potential occupational and residential risk factors for hantavirus infection in West Kazakhstan. Relevant public health interventions should include educating the population about promoting preventive practices, workplace hygiene, rodent control measures, and enhanced case diagnosis and management.
