Abstract

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that affects both animals and humans, leading to reproductive issues and public health concerns. It is endemic among livestock in Ethiopia. In selected districts of the study area, there was a lack of published data on the prevalence and awareness of small ruminant brucellosis among small ruminant owners. A cross-sectional study was conducted in selected districts within the Ilubabor zone of Ethiopia, from April 2023 to January 2024.
