® . Results: The results of this work confirm that bovine brucellosis is endemic in Cameroon. With an uneven but wide distribution the study revealed a 4.61% and 16% seroprevalence at the animal-level and herd-level respectively. There was a preponderance of seropositivity in the GHS (87.5%) over the WHPS (12.5%). The extrinsic risk factors investigated were all positively correlated with seropositivity. It was interesting to note that cattle interactivity with sheep and goats (small ruminants), wildlife, herd size, administrative division, history of third trimester abortion, ecological zone, and herd management systems had significant effects on seropositivity.
Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge, these findings provide the first factual insight into the seroprevalence of bovine brucellosis and some of its associated risk factors in the most livestock-productive agro-pastoral ecozones of Cameroon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
