Nucleic Acid Prevalence of Zoonotic in Humans, Animals and Questing Ticks, a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Zoonotic infections are an emerging public health threat globally. The geographical distribution, animal reservoirs and tick vectors vary greatly across species, and estimations of prevalence reported in works within the literature are also quite different. Better prevalence estimates and identification of moderators are needed to understand the global transmission risk of different zoonotic species, and to provide crucial background information for the diagnosis, treatment and control of zoonotic babesiosis.
