Sero-prevalence of brucellosis, Q-fever and Rift Valley fever in humans and livestock in Somali Region, Ethiopia.

摘要: Information on zoonotic diseases in humans and livestock are limited pastoral/agro-pastoral communities Ethiopia. A multi-stage cross sectional cluster design study was implemented with the aim to establish seroprevalence of including brucellosis, Q-fever Rift Valley fever (RVF) Adadle Woreda Somali Region, Blood samples were collected from tested by relevant serological tests. For Rose Bengal test (RBT) indirect ELISA used for screening confirmatory diagnosis respectively. Indirect competitive also RVF The individual seropositivity 9.6% (95% CI 5.9-15.1) cattle, 55.7% 46.0-65.0) camels, 48.8% 42.5-55.0) goats, 28.9% 25.0-33.2) sheep. In humans, 27.0% 20.4-34.0), prevalence males vs 24.2% females (OR = 1.3; 95% 0.6-2.5). Camel significantly associated age 8.1; 2.8-23.7). apparent 13.2% 8.7-18.8) 17.9% 11.0-27.8) 42.6% 34.8-50.7) 6.3% 3.3-11.6) goats 7.4% 4.7-11.5) Camels had highest both RVF. Only a weak correlation observed between human cattle camels seropositive brucellosis iELISA. 2.8(0.9-6.4) 1.5% 0.2-5.2) 0.6% 0.0-3.2) camels. This showed importance zoonoses Region is first published describe exposure country. Even though virus reported, public health sector has not given attention such zoonoses. Collaboration animal sectors further investigation these using One Health concept indispensable.
