The goals of this cross-sectional study conducted in the Zè district of Benin were to determine the overall distribution and prevalence of Buruli ulcer (BU) and to identify environmental and behavioral risk factors. A total of 425 current or previous BU patients from the study district were included. Data was obtained by direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and document review. The main findings can be summarized as follows. The overall prevalence of BU in the Zè district in 2006 was 52 cases per 10000 inhabitants. The prevalence of current and previous cases was 28.1 and 23.9 per 10 000 inhabitants respectively. The distribution of BU within the district was highly variable from one subdistrict to another and from one village to another within the same subdistrict. The subdistricts showing the highest and lowest endemicity were Djigbé with 265 cases per 10 000 inhabitants and Koundokpoé with 3 cases per 10 000 inhabitants respectively. Proximity of the hamlets to water bodies was a risk factor for the disease.
在贝宁的泽区开展的这项横断面研究的目标是确定布氏菌病（BU）的总体分布和患病率，并识别环境和行为风险因素。研究纳入了来自研究地区的425名现患或曾患布氏菌病的患者。通过直接观察、半结构化访谈和文件审查获取数据。主要研究结果总结如下。2006年泽区布氏菌病的总体患病率为每10000名居民中有52例。现患和曾患病例的患病率分别为每10000名居民中有28.1例和23.9例。该疾病在区内的分布在不同分区之间以及同一分区内的不同村庄之间差异很大。地方性最高和最低的分区分别是吉贝，每10000名居民中有265例，以及昆多波埃，每10000名居民中有3例。小村庄靠近水体是该疾病的一个风险因素。
