5 Recommendations
The current study showed that overall the participants had lack of
information regarding brucellosis. Thus particular emphasis is therefore
required in the rural areas of Khyber Pakhtun Khwa, where the general
public should be informed on the issues of brucellosis, and cattle
handlers, especially farmers should be equipped with the requisite
facilities, protective measures and preventive assistance. Additionally,
systematic supervision is suggested to make sure that all these actions
and services are utilized effectively and that the aim of managing and
avoiding the disease is accomplished. Brucellosis is a serious problem,
and a comprehensive multidisciplinary initiative is required to cope
with the situation before it becomes an epidemic. In addition, an
emphasis on vertical programs for the management of zoonotic diseases is
required. Strong bond among health departments, teamwork with World
Organization for Animal Health (OIE), implementation and monitoring of
policies for the effective measure are highly encouraged. Development of
collaboration among animal health researchers and instructive campaigns
that focus general public or animal handlers in rural areas are
suggested. Furthermore, collaborative work among endemic nations will
further build up a strong response against brucellosis.
