Brucellosis Seroprevalence in Humans and Risk Factors Among High-Risk Groups at Two Urban Populations in Kenya
In comparison to previous seroprevalence-based studies conducted in nonpastoral Kenyan communities, our study revealed relatively higher seropositivity. This article emphasizes the importance of conducting surveillance for brucellosis in urban areas. Urban brucellosis surveillance within the framework of One Health could serve as a baseline to guide future research on brucellosis in humans.
