Evidence of Exposure to Multiple Zoonotic Pathogens in Humans in Lusaka, Zambia: Insights from Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing

2025-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Zoonotic diseases present a growing public health challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to close interactions between humans and animals and poor diagnostic capacity. This pilot study investigated human exposure to zoonotic pathogens in Zambia, among 47 COVID-19 suspected patients from whom nasopharyngeal samples were collected between November 2020 and February 2021 at two major COVID-19 referra...
