ABSTRACT

Brucellosis is a very infectious, zoonotic, and monetarily critical bacterial illness of creatures around the world. It causes noteworthy monetary misfortunes including premature birth, misfortune in milk generation, low fruitfulness rates, and cost of substitution of creatures. The level of center of our study is to get a handle on the awareness of this disease along with its complication in the urban and rural areas of Pakistan. By this many people can easily get sound knowledge of the disease and to aware them about the treatment and prevention of it. The study was conducted amongst adult people (20 years and above) of different localities, culture and professional backgrounds. We prepared a questionnaire about the awareness & complications associated with Brucellosis in urban & rural areas of Pakistan in which 10 questions were present. This was made through an online form as well as written document and were given to different people to get the general perspectives of individuals of diverse ages with respect to the theme of study. This result shows that many of the people have no idea at all about this disease. People of rural areas are more prone to brucellosis as they have more contact with animals such as livestock, which might contain an infected animal as well. Not only this but the intake of food and milk may not be as proper as the people of urban areas due to which this category seems to be more prone than the other. After the careful study of the recent survey, it is concluded that the awareness about this disease is very less and people of urban areas are more prone to this disease because of their livestock, Conclusively; we believe that every person deserves to live a healthy life whether it be from a Rural area or Urban area and to aware people about the diseases is the duty of every medical student or teacher to save them from such mishaps, for this purpose more research work are needed to tell people about the complications of this disease.
