| dc.description.abstract | A cross-sec tio nal Clwlcmio \ogicai study was carried out from October 2005 to March 2006 10 delL'11111l1C tht: S I.;roprc\a1cncc 0 r c ame\ b n1cc llosis in s Ollth cas! 10\\ I and a rcas 1 n JiJ iga lone, Soma li 1\a1l011 '-11 Regional State (SNRS). to characterize the management system. determine the scroprcva\cnce of camel brucellosIs and identify the risk faclOrs that contribute to the OCCU1Tcncc of bmccllosis. A simple ra ndom sampling method was used to seleci 822 camel and 185 he rds (households) 59~ camels <lilt! 133 herds \\cre selected fr0111 JiJigaarea whi le 218 camels and 52 hcn.l3 ,\crL' sclt:ctcu from Babllc area. Serum samples were collected frolll all camels (8.22):; years old or ahO\ c. The blood samp les were screened by RB PT and all RBPT posi ti\ c rcactors \\ere further Icsted by the CFT for confimlatloll. Add itionally. a struc tured 411estionnalrc format was prepared and admll11stercd to hundred of the 185 selected households to collect infonllatlon about <ll11mal allnblltes and f~lfIll attribu tcs. The res ults showcd th at signifi c<llll proportions of the households k cpt camel together \\ ith cattle a nd s hoats (40%) and only \\ ith cattle (320 /0 ). The camel herd \\as dominated by pregnant animal!'
