Popis:	INTRODUCTION: Brucellosis is among the world’s most widespread zoonotic diseases which is recognized as a public health concern in both developed and developing countries. It is endemic in Kenya’s pastoral communities where it is associated with significant economic losses due to decreased animal productivity and high burden in humans. The objectives of this study were: i) To estimate the sero-prevalence and determine the risk factors of brucellosis in humans ii) To assess the knowledge attitude and practices (KAP) of a pastoral community in relation to brucellosis transmission and control.
