INTRODUCTION: Bovine tuberculosis is an important zoonotic disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis, known to exist in all parts of the world especially in un-hygienic environments. It has a public health impact and humans acquire the infection from infected animals through consumption of raw or unpasteurized milk and dairy products.
METHODS: An Institutional-based quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2020 to assess the knowledge and practice level along with their derivatives of bovine tuberculosis among adult HIV-positive people in Bahir Dar city public hospitals. The data were collected using structured interviewer questionnaire and systematic random sampling was employed to select study subjects. Thus, a total of 435 people living with HIV were considered for this study.
RESULTS: Out of the total 435 participants 51.5% were male and the mean age was 37.6 years. The overall level of good knowledge and practice of HIV-positive persons for bovine TB were 46.2% and 41.1%, respectively. Moreover, education status, religion, cattle holding, and environmental hygiene were statistically significant associations (p < 0.05) with knowledge level. Likewise, education status, age, and marital status were statistically significant associations with the practice level for bovine TB. Education was a key determinant factor affecting both knowledge and practice.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the present study showed that the level of good knowledge and practice of the participant for bovine TB was low. Hence, tailor-made training by medical and veterinary professionals on the identified risk factors is recommended.
