Zoonotic diseases (zoonoses) originating from domestic animals pose a significant risk to people's health and livelihoods, in addition jeopardizing animal production. Effective surveillance of endemic zoonoses at the level is crucial assessing disease burden risk, providing early warning prevent epidemics spillover humans. Here we aimed prioritize characterize for which important human infections global scale. A multi-criteria qualitative approach was used, where disease-specific information...
Abstract The World Health Organization describes brucellosis as one of the world’s leading zoonotic diseases, with Middle East a global hotspot. Brucella melitensis is endemic among livestock populations in region, transmission occurring via consumption raw milk, amongst other routes. Control largely vaccination small ruminant and cattle populations. Due to sociocultural religious influences camel milk ( camelus dromedarius) widely consumed raw, while from species boiled. To investigate...
We evaluated livestock owners' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding brucellosis in Jordan. A questionnaire was administered biological samples were examined to verify the serological status of animals. Seroprevalence estimates indicated that 18.1% (95% CI: 11–25.3) cattle herds 34.3% 28.4–40.4) small ruminant flocks seropositive. The results showed 100% interviewed keepers aware brucellosis: 87% a high risk infection if unpasteurized milk is consumed 75% dairy products are consumed....
Ten herd-level cross-sectional studies were conducted in peri-urban dairy production areas of seven West and Central African countries (Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Mali, Niger, Senegal Togo). The objectives to estimate herd level Brucella spp. seroprevalence identify risk factors for seropositivity. In each the ten study areas, herds (between 52 142 per area, total = 965) selected probabilistically a structured questionnaire was administered gather information on their structure...
Brucella melitensis causes production losses in ruminants and febrile disease humans Africa, Central Asia, the Middle East elsewhere. Although traditionally understood to affect primarily sheep goats, it is also predominant species that affects cows some endemic areas. Despite this, no licensed vaccine available specifically for use against B. cows. The mainstay of most control programs vaccination goats with a live vaccine, Rev-1. aim this study was investigate how critical might be, order...
The dairy industry in Senegal is growing and evolving against a backdrop of rapid urbanisation increasing consumer demand for products. Consideration appropriate cattle healthcare delivery disease control these farming systems paramount importance given the risks posed by zoonotic pathogens economic consequences livestock keepers. Planning implementation generally follows top down approach. Often this does not take into account views perceptions farmers it impacts who must behave expected...
Abstract The study was conducted from June to August 2014 in Isiolo Central division of Sub‐County and Sericho Garbatulla comprised two components: (i) a cross‐sectional on the milk‐handling hygiene practices, where milk traders’ households were units (ii) case‐control risk factors for Brucella spp. infection humans. Results showed that 26.74% respondents never washed their hands before milking, 60.47% udder milking 54.65% withhold consumption animals under treatment with antibiotics....
Brucellosis is regarded as one of the highest burden zoonotic diseases to persist in many regions globally. While sustained vaccination against B. abortus an endemic setting can markedly reduce prevalence large ruminant and human brucellosis benefit local livelihoods, implementation effective sustainable control programmes has often failed worst affected areas. In a cross-sectional study 728 peri-urban dairy farmers nine areas six West Central African countries, levels commercialization farm...
Small ruminant brucellosis remains endemic in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where it poses a major economic public health burden. Lack of resources to support long-term vaccination, inherent characteristics small production systems such as mixing different flocks for grazing limitations the vaccines currently available, which can induce abortion pregnant animals, have all hindered effectiveness control programmes. In current study, likely effect scenarios on seroprevalence...
A 500 composite egg samples (2500 eggs-each sample represented by 5 eggs) collected from layer farms and local markets all over Jordan were studied for presence of antimicrobials using Premi®Test screening test. Positive indicated inhibition microbial growth 12.8% out total screened samples. examined quantitatively HPLC technique to detect the enrofloxacin ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin residues detected in 1% 0.8% samples, respectively, where both drugs recovered white but not yolk. The...
