What is Bovine Brucellosis: Epidemiology, Public Health Implications, and Status of Brucellosis in Ethiopia about?

## Abstract Brucellosis is a globally distributed zoonotic disease that causes serious problems in developing countries such as Ethiopia. __Brucella abortus__ is the primary cause of brucellosis in cattle, and __Brucella melitensis__ and __Brucella suis__ also occasionally cause __Brucella__ infection in cattle. Abortion and the retained fetal membrane are typical signs in females, whereas orchitis and bursitis are the known signs in male cattle. Brucellosis is typically transmitted to healthy cattle by direct or indirect contact with diseased cattle or their discharges. Humans can acquire brucellosis through the consumption of unpasteurized milk or milk products, and through contact with diseased cattle or their discharges. The occurrence of bovine brucellosis is affected by different factors related to the management system, host, and environmental factors. In Ethiopia, the occurrence of brucellosis is high in pastoral and mixed cattle management systems, wherever humans live closely with cattle and so have a higher probability of picking up the __Brucella__ organism. The most suitable technique in the management of __Brucella__ infection is the vaccination of young female cattle
