  abstract = {{B}ackground {B}rucellosis, {Q} fever and {R}ift {V}alley fever are considered as {N}eglected {Z}oonotic {D}iseases ({NZD}s) leading to socioeconomic losses in livestock globally, and particularly in developing countries of {A}frica where they are under-reported. {I}n this study, we evaluated the seroprevalence of these 3 zoonotic diseases in domestic ruminants in {G}uinea from 2017 to 2019. {A} total of 1357 sera, sampled from 463 cattle, 408 goats and 486 sheep, were collected in 17 {G}uinean prefectures and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ({ELISA}). {R}esults {C}attle was the species with highest seroprevalence (5 to 20-fold higher than in small ruminants) for the three diseases. {T}he seroprevalence of brucellosis, mostly focused in {W}estern {G}uinea, was 11.0% (51 of 463) in cattle, 0.4% (2 in 486) in sheep while no specific antibodies were found in goats. {Q} fever, widespread across the country, was the most frequently detected zoonosis with a mean seroprevalence of 20.5% (95 in 463), 4.4% (18 in 408) and 2.3% (11 in 486) in cattle, goats and sheep, respectively. {T}he mean seroprevalence of {RVF} was 16.4% (76 in 463) in cattle, 1.0% (4 in 408) in goats and 1.0% (5 in 486) in sheep. {A}mong the samples 19.3% were seropositive for at least one of the three {NZD}s, 2.5% showed specific antibodies against at least two pathogens and 4 cattle (0.8%) were seropositive for all three pathogens. {I}n cattle, adults over 3-years old and females presented a higher antibody seroprevalence for the three diseases, in congruence with putative exposure risk. {C}onclusions {T}his study confirms the circulation of these three zoonotic pathogens in {G}uinea and highlights the need for implementing a syndromic surveillance of ruminant abortions by the {G}uinean veterinary authorities as well as for the screening of the human population at risk (veterinarians, breeders, slaughterers) in a {O}ne {H}ealth perspective.},
