B
rucellosis is worldwide distributed disease with significant
economic andzoonotic implication for the rural communities
of developing countries. It is prevalent in Ethiopia in attributable
to farmers and Pastoralist traditional life styles, feeding habits
and disease patterns. Cross-sectional study was carried out
in Borena zone Oromia regional state, southern Ethiopia to
estimate prevalence of Bovine and human brucellosis; and
molecularly detected Brucella species circulation in the area.
Sero-epidemiological survey was applied on target population
andatotalof503and161serasampleswerecollectedfromcattle
and human for serological analysis of brucellosis respectively.
Structured questioner was also applied to assess associated risk
factor of Brucellosis in Bovine and Human. Sera samples were
serially tested by RBPT finally confirmed by c-ELISA. In this study,
B.abortus detected from blood clot of cattle using molecular
assay. This study revealed that human brucellosis prevalence
was higher than animals. Prevalence of human brucellosis was
25.6% in pastoral association (PA) whereas 21.3% in hospital
with febrile clinical sign. It also provides evidence of high
importance of brucellosis in human and animal in the study
area. In conclusion, existence of brucellosis, community daily
practice, and uncontrolled movement of animals and livelihood
nature of pastoralist suggests the need for farther investigation
of brucellosis in human and animals to design/develop future
prevention and control strategy of the disease in the area.
