Abstract
Background
Most emerging pathogens are zoonoses and have a wildlife origin. Anthropization and disruption
of ecosystems favor the crossing of inter-species barriers. We hypothesize that the
marginalized population of undocumented goldminers in the Amazon is at risk of acquiring
zoonoses.
Method
A multicentric cross-sectional study included consenting gold-mining adult workers in 2019.
A clinical examination recorded dermatological signs of leishmaniosis and past history of
yellow fever vaccination. Biological tests were performed for yellow fever, Q fever and leptospirosis
serologies. Additional blood samples from a previous study in 2015 were also tested Results
In 2019, 380 individuals were included in the study, along with 407 samples from the 2015
biological collection. The seroprevalence of leptospirosis was 31.0% [95%CI = 26.4–35.5] in
2015 and 28.1% [23.5–32.7] in 2019. The seroprevalence of Q fever was 2.9% [1.2–4.6]. The majority of participants reported being vaccinated against yellow fever (93.6%) and
97.9% had seroneutralizing antibodies. The prevalence of suspected active mucocutaneous
leishmaniasis was 2.4% [0.8–3.9].
