Brucellosis is an important zoonotic disease that affects fertility in farm animals. The risk factors of brucellosis have not been well studied. This study aimed to understand the seroprevalence and risk factors of brucellosis among livestock in Bangriposi block of Mayurbhanj district in Odisha, a region that borders Similipal wildlife reserve.
Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) was carried out to estimate the seroprevalence of the livestock in this region. Bivariate analysis was carried out to analyze the association between the variables and brucellosis. Binary logistic regression was performed to assess the risk factors associated with brucellosis in the livestock.
Based on RBPT, the seroprevalence of brucellosis among cattle and goats was estimated to be 1.1% and 11.2%, respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis indicates that study area, age, goats, animals with a history of abortion, and rearing practices were the major risk factors in this region.
This is one of the first studies in India to shed light on risk factors of brucellosis, an important neglected disease that affects the health of animals and humans and nation's economy.
布鲁氏菌病是一种重要的人畜共患病，会影响家畜的繁殖能力。布鲁氏菌病的风险因素尚未得到充分研究。本研究旨在了解奥里萨邦梅奥尔布汉杰区邦里波西街区家畜中布鲁氏菌病的血清流行率及风险因素，该地区与西米里帕尔野生动物保护区接壤。
采用玫瑰红平板试验（RBPT）来估计该地区家畜的血清流行率。进行双变量分析以分析变量与布鲁氏菌病之间的关联。进行二元逻辑回归以评估与家畜布鲁氏菌病相关的风险因素。
基于RBPT，估计牛和山羊中布鲁氏菌病的血清流行率分别为1.1%和11.2%。二元逻辑回归分析表明，研究区域、年龄、山羊、有流产史的动物以及饲养方式是该地区的主要风险因素。
这是印度首批揭示布鲁氏菌病风险因素的研究之一，布鲁氏菌病是一种重要的被忽视疾病，会影响动物和人类健康以及国家经济。
