        Summary
        In this study the prevalences of Coxiella burnetii, Toxoplasma gondii, Ross River virus (RRV) and flavivirus in a population of eastern grey kangaroos (Marcopus giganteus) in Anglesea, Victoria, were investigated. This to provide evidence for the possible role of eastern grey kangaroos in the maintenance and transmission of these zoonotic pathogens. This study demonstrates exposure to T. gondii, RRV and flaviviruses in a population eastern grey kangaroos in Victora, Australia. We found no indication for infection with C. burnetii in these eastern grey kangaroos. In this way this study provides evidence that eastern grey kangaroos could be infected with, and in this way could play a role in , the transmission and maintenance of these zoonotic pathogens.
