dc.description.abstractBrucellosis is the commonest zoonotic infection worldwide causing human suffering and economic losses through affected livestock. Symptoms are similar to other febrile syndromes such as malaria and typhoid fever and it is often easily misdiagnosed, resulting in underreporting and misdirected treatments. The study was conducted in pastoralist rangelands. Females and households with six to ten members were more likely to seek health care at government facilities, while those with tertiary education were less likely, after the first provider. Improved geographical access needs to be matched with good quality basic services, adequate medicines, qualified health personnel and regular supportive supervision.en
