We performed literature review with meta-analysis assess prevalence. random-effects model calculate the pooled prevalence and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) for studies. After screening, 15 reports were selected full-text assessment included qualitative quantitative analyses. Ten assessed by molecular or serological tests (n = 2680), yielding 16.0% (95%CI: 3.0-29.0%) non-human primates; 8.0% 4.0-12.0%) rodents 1.0% 0.0-3.0%) shrews.
