| Popis: | Highlights • Brucellosis is endemically established among dairy herds in West and Central Africa. • Brucella spp. infection is present at high levels in dairy herds in Lomé and Bamako. • Brucellosis poses a public health concern in dairy chains of West and Central Africa. • Brucellosis control programs are urgently needed in West and Central Africa. Ten herd-level cross-sectional studies were conducted in peri-urban dairy production areas of seven West and Central African countries (Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo). The objectives were to estimate herd level Brucella spp. seroprevalence and identify risk factors for seropositivity. In each of the ten study areas, herds (between 52 and 142 per area, total = 965) were selected probabilistically and a structured questionnaire was administered to gather information on their structure and management. A bulk milk sample from each herd was tested by indirect ELISA for Brucella spp. For each area, herd seroprevalence estimates were obtained after adjusting for the assumed performance of the diagnostic test. Herd level risk factors for Brucella spp. seropositivity were identified by means of stratified logistic regression, with each peri-urban zone as a stratum. Area-specific models were also explored. Estimated herd seroprevalences were: Lomé (Togo) 62.0% (95% CI:55.0–69.0), Bamako (Mali) 32.5% (95% CI:28.0–37.0), Bujumbura (Burundi) 14.7% (95%CI:9.4–20.8), Bamenda (Cameroon) 12.6% (95% CI:7.6–21.9), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) 3.0% (95% CI:1.0–9.1), Ngaoundere (Cameroon) 2.3% (95% CI:1.0–7.0), Thies (Senegal) 1.3% (95% CI:0.1, 5.3), Niamey (Niger) 1.2% (95% CI:0.08-5.3), Dakar (Senegal) 0.2% (95% CI:0.01–1.7) and Niakhar (Senegal) |
