Abstract

Bovine tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium bovis, is a chronic zoonotic disease that persists in Ethiopia despite global control efforts, impacting public health and the economy. However, little is known about the epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis in Southwest Ethiopia. This study aims to assess the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis and identify associated risk factors in dairy cattle. A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2022 to October 2023 in four districts in the Sheka, Bench-Sheko, and Keffa zones. A multistage sampling approach was employed, resulting in the selection of 1,152 cattle from various herds. Tuberculin skin testing was performed to detect bovine tuberculosis, and data on potential risk factors were collected through questionnaires. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between bovine tuberculosis and various risk factors. The overall prevalence of bovine tuberculosis was 4.95% at the cow level and 22.19% at the herd level in the study areas. Significant herd-level risk factors for bovine tuberculosis included lowland areas, larger herd sizes, and the introducing new animals. At the cow level, risk factors included age, breed, body condition, herd size, introduction of new animals, and management system. The study reveals a high prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in dairy cattle in Southwest Ethiopia, identifying key risk factors. Effective control requires targeted interventions, such as improved management practices, enhanced farmer awareness, and a better understanding of and guidance on bovine tuberculosis strategies in Ethiopia. Future research should isolate and characterize M. bovis in the study areas.

埃塞俄比亚西南部的牛结核病反应牛:牛结核病的风险因素
由牛分枝杆菌引起的牛结核病是一种慢性人畜共患病,尽管全球都在努力控制,但这种疾病在埃塞俄比亚依然存在,对公共卫生和经济造成了影响。然而,人们对埃塞俄比亚西南部牛结核病的流行病学知之甚少。本研究旨在评估奶牛结核病的流行情况,并确定相关的风险因素。研究于 2022 年 10 月至 2023 年 10 月在 Sheka、Bench-Sheko 和 Keffa 区的四个县进行了横断面研究。研究采用了多阶段抽样方法,从不同牛群中选取了 1,152 头牛。通过结核菌素皮试检测牛结核病,并通过问卷调查收集潜在风险因素的数据。采用逻辑回归模型分析牛结核病与各种风险因素之间的关联。在研究地区,牛结核病的总体发病率在奶牛层面为 4.95%,在牛群层面为 22.19%。牛结核病在牛群层面的重要风险因素包括低洼地区、牛群规模较大以及引进新牲畜。在奶牛层面,风险因素包括年龄、品种、体况、牛群规模、引进新牲畜和管理制度。这项研究揭示了埃塞俄比亚西南部奶牛中牛结核病的高流行率,并确定了关键的风险因素。有效的控制需要有针对性的干预措施,如改进管理方法、提高农民意识、更好地了解和指导埃塞俄比亚的牛结核病防治策略。未来的研究应分离研究地区的牛结核杆菌并确定其特征。
