Surveillance of zoonotic pathogens in cattle and dromedaries sacrificed at the Grand Magal of Touba: a cross-sectional survey

These findings demonstrate active zoonotic circulation and stress the need for continuous surveillance of zoonotic pathogens in animals involved in the GMT. Given the close proximity of humans and livestock during such events, the potential for spillover of zoonotic agents necessitates a <i>One Health</i> approach, integrating veterinary, environmental, and human health surveillance. Future investigations should further characterize pathogen species to better inform risk reduction strategies.
