Seroprevalence of Brucellosis in dairy animals and their owners in selected sites, Central Highlands of Ethiopia

A cross-sectional study was conducted from December, 2019 to May, 2020 with the aim of determining seroprevalence and identifying potential risk factors brucellosis in dairy cows recent cases abortion their owners farm workers selected sites central highland Oromia, Ethiopia. The overall bovine human 0.61% (95%CI: 0.016–2.09) 1.21% 0.032–4.27) using combined RBPT CFT tests, respectively. late stage (OR = 14.74, p =0.0002), retained fetal membrane 32.74, p=0.006), market-based stock replacement 16.55, p=0.002), presence parturition pen 11.511, p=0.027) were found be significantly associated seropositivity for Brucella infection cattle. Human housing 1.8, 0.002), contact aborted fetus 21.19, 0.017), drinking raw milk 5.72, 0.019) 4.22, p= 0.029) all had a significant influence on seropositivity. structured interview question administered 284 respondents. Accordingly, most respondents no knowledge zoonotic effects (93.3%) contrast them drink milk. Implementation test slaughter strategy compensation is recommended this low prevalence. In case brucellosis, implementing one health approach framework should practiced.
