Brucellosis prevention and control in small ruminants using a test and slaughter strategy in the pastoral Afar Region of Ethiopia: A pilot study
Segregation and test-and-slaughter strategy can effectively reduce brucellosis prevalence in animals, thus alleviating the disease burden on the public health sector. A strong inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary approach is required taking into account epidemiological context and pastoralist culture.
