Overview

May guide district-targeted FMD surveillance in Ethiopia; leaves open causal confirmation of movement and herd size risks.

Study Design

Type

Cross-Sectional (n=273)

Structured PICO

P
Population
273 cattle from 98 herds in the Bench Maji zone of Southwestern Ethiopia assessed for FMD seroprevalence and associated risk factors.
O
Outcome
Seroprevalence of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and associated risk factors

Main Result

Odds Ratio: 4.95 (95% CI 1.78–8.97)

Absolute Event Rate: 20% vs 5.88%

p-value: p=<0.05

FMD is an important cattle disease in Southwestern Ethiopia, with cross-boundary movement and herd size as significant risk factors.

Cite This Study

Gelaye et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) (n=273). Surma district location (pastoral production system) vs. Semen Bench district location (sedentary production system) was evaluated on FMD seroprevalence (OR 4.95, 95% CI 1.78-8.97, p=<0.05). Cattle in the Surma district had a significantly higher FMD seroprevalence (20%) compared to those in the Semen Bench district (5.88%), with an odds ratio of 4.95.
