Public health significance, seroprevalence and associated risk factors of bovine brucellosis in selected dairy farms of North Shewa zone, Amhara region, Ethiopia by Gashaw Adane Erkyihun, Fikru Regassa Gari, Daniel Demissie Shewie, Teferi Bentti, Gezahegne Mamo Kassa

“…Results: The overall seroprevalence of bovine brucellosis was 0.47 % (95 % CI: −0.182%-1.121%) and 4.43 % (95 % CI: −1.77 % - 10.47 %) at individual and herd level respectively. Analysis of risk factors using logistic regression indicated buying stock replacement (OR = 33.83, p = 0.000301), abortion history (OR = 5.90, 0.00579) and bull mating service (OR = 6.43, p = 0.01338) were found to be significantly associated with the seropositivity of Brucella infection in the dairy cattle. …”
