Abstract

. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices of cattle farmers regarding zoonotic diseases in Erzurum, Turkey, where cattle-raising is the most common occupation. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,045 cattle farmers in Erzurum. In terms of the diseases that can be transmitted from animal to human, 69.6% of the cattle farmers had information on anthrax, 62.8% on brucellosis, 18.4% on tuberculosis, 44.9% on rabies, 32.5% on Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, 8.9% on hydatid cyst, 8.0% on toxoplasmosis and 7.9% on giardiasis. The knowledge level of cattle farmers who were university graduates was 94.8%. Cattle farmers having over 100 cattle had a knowledge level of 96.7% on zoonotic diseases and their positive attitudes and practices reached 95.1% and 91.8%, respectively. The results showed that the increase in education status, size of the enterprise, and monthly income of cattle farmers was related to an increase in knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding zoonotic diseases. However, it was found that the positive knowledge and attitudes of the cattle farmers could not be transformed into positive practices evenly. words:

土耳其埃尔祖鲁姆养牛户对人畜共患疾病的知识、态度和做法

本研究旨在确定土耳其埃尔祖鲁姆养牛户对人畜共患疾病的知识、态度和做法，在那里养牛是最常见的职业。对埃尔祖鲁姆的1045名养牛户进行了横断面研究。就动物传染给人类的疾病而言，69.6%的养牛户有炭疽病信息，62.8%有布鲁氏菌病信息，18.4%有结核病信息，44.9%有狂犬病信息，32.5%有克里米亚-刚果出血热信息，8.9%有棘球蚴病信息，8.0%有弓形虫病信息，7.9%有贾第虫病信息。大学毕业生养牛户的知识水平为94.8%，100头牛以上的养牛户对人畜共患疾病的知识水平达到96.7%，积极态度和做法分别达到95.1%和91.8%。结果表明，养牛户受教育程度、企业规模和月收入的增加与对人畜共患疾病的知识、态度和做法的增加有关。然而，研究发现，养牛户的积极知识和态度并不能均匀地转化为积极实践。文字：
