A systematic review and meta-analysis of knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward anthrax prevention and control in Ethiopia: Implication for a one health policy
Half of the communities in Ethiopia remain with suboptimal knowledge, attitudes, and practices for anthrax prevention and control. This could lead to ineffective outbreak management, delayed reporting, and continuous transmission of anthrax to humans and animals, particularly in endemic areas. As a result, from a One Health perspective, an integrated multisectoral intervention is urgently required to promote collaboration among the human, animal, and environmental health sectors.
