“…On average, the knowledge score of farmers for brucellosis was only 19.6%, with little difference between migratory and dairy farms. This is essentially in line with a previous study [ 23 ], which found that 15% of farmers in Tajikistan knew about brucellosis. In contrast, only 2.6% of farmers in Sri Lanka [ 12 ] and 4.8% of farmers in India [ 24 ] were aware that brucellosis is a zoonotic disease.…”

Objective: This study aimed to identify the relationship between bovine brucellosis prevalence, farmers’ knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP), and social factors on migratory draft cattle and smallholder dairy farms in the central dry zone of Myanmar.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 54 migratory and 38 dairy cattle farms between August 2020 and February 2021. A structured questionnaire was used to identify farmers’ behaviors. Bulk milk was sampled and tested using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA). STATA 17 was used for all the analyses.Results: Migratory cattle farms had a higher farm level brucellosis prevalence (14.8%) than dairy farms (2.6%; χ<sup>2</sup> = 3.75; df = 1; p = 0.05). Only 2.8% of the farmers had knowledge about brucellosis, while 39.1% and 41.6% had attitudes and farm practices with respect to brucellosis, respectively in the study area. Socio-economic attribute of training in animal husbandry (p<0.01), raising system (p<0.01), practice of separating the aborted cow (p<0.01) were negatively associated to brucellosis. The overall farm level brucellosis prevalence was strongly associated with cattle herd size (p = 0.01), free movement grazing practices (p<0.01), practice of self-removal of placental debris without using personal protective equipment (p<0.01) and farmers' attitudes towards eating cow placenta debris (p<0.01).Conclusion: Farmers had little knowledge of brucellosis. Attitudes and practices differed significantly between migratory and dairy farmers. Training and extension programs are necessary to make farmers aware of their KAP situation since livestock migration and the custom of eating cow placental debris contribute to the spread of brucellosis. Persistent efforts are required to reduce the adverse effects of brucellosis. Therefore, the study suggests that a feasible control intervention and public awareness campaigns need to be conducted regarding methods of preventing human exposure to brucellosis.

“…In this study, the number of farmers who knew about brucellosis as a zoonotic disease is higher than the finding of [9] in India (4.8%) and [1] in Pakistan (3%). Majority of farmers in this study (87.5%) don't have infor-mation how brucellosis can be transmitted and higher than the findings of [11] in Tajikistan (15%), [8] in Ecuador (30%) and [12] in Ethiopia (48%). The finding of this study is in contradiction to the result of [7] in Senegal where none of the farmer knew about brucellosis.…”

Urban dairy farmers of Kombolcha purchase pure and high-grade Holstein Friesian cows from different corners of the country regardless of being free from or certified from bovine brucellosis. In the study area (Kombolcha), documented report on practice and knowledge of urban dairy farmers towards Brucellosis is absent or not found. Therefore, it is high time to know the practice and understanding of dairy farmers about the zoonotic disease, brucellosis, and avail information to Kombolcha Regio-polytan livestock resource development office for proper support to dairy farmers. The objective of this study is, therefore, to assess the current practice and knowledge of smallholder urban dairy farmers about Brucellosis. The design of the study is cross sectional and data were collected through single-visit-multiple-subjects formal survey technique and analyzed using SPSS software. A total of 96 urban small holder dairy farms (study units) were assessed during the study period. A substantial number of respondents consume raw milk without any sort of heat treatment and do not have information on bovine brucellosis mode of transmissions. All respondents have never heard about transmission of brucellosis from animals to human beings and perform risky practices unknowingly. It is therefore, high time to aware urban dairy farmers about bovine brucellosis.

“…Numerous variables are believed to influence the degree of brucellosis awareness and understanding. Multiple meta-analyses show that the education of the participants is correlated with higher levels of awareness and knowledge regarding brucellosis [ 17 - 26 ]. Awareness and knowledge of brucellosis are positively connected with prior experience and the prevalence of brucellosis in animals [ 27 ].…”

Background: Brucellosis is a serious zoonotic infectious disease. Humans contract the disease by coming into contact with infected animals or their products. In Saudi Arabia, brucellosis is considered to be an endemic disease, with an annual incidence of 15.34 per 100,000 population from 2003 to 2018. Because of the devastating consequences for human health, raising awareness is an essential component in preventing brucellosis. Our study aims to assess the knowledge, awareness, and attitudes regarding brucellosis among the residents of Taif City, Saudi Arabia.Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey conducted in June-October 2022 targeted the population of Taif City, Saudi Arabia. The data were collected by an online questionnaire, which included questions on sociodemographic characteristics, awareness regarding brucellosis, behavior and attitude toward animals, and consuming animal-based products.Results: A total of 743 participants were included. The participants were 18-70 years old, 63.4% were females, and 79.4% had a university education. Only 450 participants answered yes to the first question: "Do you know about brucellosis or have you heard about it?" Therefore, they were asked to answer knowledge questions. It was found that out of 450 participants, 46.9% demonstrated a "poor" knowledge level. Participants aged 26-55 years old demonstrated significantly more "good" knowledge than the other age groups (p = 0.001). Males demonstrated significantly more "good" knowledge (30.6%) than females (14.9%) (p < 0.001). The practices and attitudes of animal breeder participants (16.2%) were satisfactory because more than half of them did not participate in the birth of animals (53.4%), 50.7% did not participate in the birth with abortion, and approximately 61% used gloves when taking care of animals. The practices were unsatisfactory because 53.4% of the participants reported that they "always" eat the meat of animals they keep, and 64.4% reported that they personally slaughter sheep or cows from the herd. Conclusion: Our study showed that most of the participants were aware of brucellosis; however, at the same time, the knowledge level regarding brucellosis was not satisfactory.
