| dc.description.abstract | Participatory appraisal and conventional veterinary investigation methods were applied to \alidate Barana pastoralists' knowledge on cattle disease and to investigate the epidemiology of Foot and Mouth disease ( Ft\lD), respe-ctivcly in Barana pastoral production system of Southern Ethiopia. Furthennore, detcnnin3ti oll of seroprevalencc of FMD and assessment of associated risk factors (including serotyping of the c irculating FMD vims) were conducted. The participatory methods used were clinical observation. matrix scoring, proportional piling. and seasonal calendars. Seroepldcmiological investigations were perfomlcd using JABC ELISA a nd liquid phase blocking ELISA techniques. The analysIs of matrix sconng showed good level of agreement (\\"- 0.569·0.956) among {he 12 mfomlant groups for the disease indicators. Borana PaslOralists descriptions of catt le diseases much 0 \'erlap \V nh III odem \ clcrinary descriptions. T he result 0 fp roportional piling indicated that about .f 1° o of callie population suffered from \'arious diseases and 8.8 ~ 0 died in the past one ~car (F~tD recorded the highest incidence of 16.1 °/0 and mortalll) of 1.1°/0 ). Cahes recorded the htghest mean incidence of clinical F~ID lHoyale: \8.5°/0). While 100\'cst in chronic FMD (COl/dille; O .2~n ). Climcal F)'lD caused the highest mortality (2.8 % ) in cah-cs compared to adults (0 .3°/0 ). :\cconhng 10 the s ea sonal calendar. the highest inCidence of aClite F~lD (Hooyale) was recorded dunng the long dr: season (Bo l/na) compared to cold dry season (lIagtl.l:l'£l). rhe overall seroprcvalencc of Ff.1D \\as 21 %) (11 = 920). herd infection rate. on the other hand, was 59°(1 (n 116).

From the various !"Isk factors analY/cd, Peasant AssoCIations (PAs). herd sizc=. sex and age were seen to be siglllficantly aSSOCiated (P <0.05) with the seroprevalcncc. Liquid phase blocking ELISA test revealed that '0' type F\lD \lnlS is the ll1Jjor serotype (99.2 % ) circulating in the area. follo\\ed by 'A' (95.8 % ).
