Abstract

Livestock disease, particularly viral and bacterial disease, impedes livestock farming productivity and reduces available food in the current system, leading to food insecurity and economic losses. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of viral and bacterial disease in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. A retrospective data of livestock diseases in the Eastern Cape Province from 2013 to 2018 was obtained from veterinary records in the Department of Rural and Agrarian Reform (DrDAR), Bisho South Africa database, decoded, analyzed, and interpreted. The result revealed a significant association between local municipality, season, year, and livestock species. The highest prevalence of disease was found in the Lukhanji (29.4%) and Mbhashe (17.5%), while bacterial diseases were more prevalent in Nelson Mandela Bay (27.7%) and Raymond Mhlaba (34.9%) municipalities. More diseases were in autumn (53.8%) and spring (58.5%). The highest proportions of bacterial and viral diseases were in caprine (97.2%) and bovine (41.4%). Odds of disease occurrence were the highest in Intsika yethu local municipality (OR = 3.279, 95% CI = 0.043-263.6) in autumn (OR = 2.131, 95% CI = 0.815-5.569), and in bovine (OR = 58.825, 95% CI = 16.283-205.591). The results necessitate veterinary authorities to strengthen preventative program activities to mitigate livestock diseases in study area.

南非东开普省家畜病毒性和细菌性疾病回顾性报告

牲畜疾病，特别是病毒性和细菌性疾病，阻碍了畜牧业生产力，减少了当前系统中的可用粮食，导致粮食不安全和经济损失。目前的研究旨在确定南非东开普省病毒性和细菌性疾病的流行情况。从南非Bisho农村和土地改革司(DrDAR)数据库的兽医记录中获取2013年至2018年东开普省牲畜疾病回顾性数据，并对其进行解码、分析和解释。结果显示，当地城市、季节、年份和牲畜种类之间存在显著相关性。卢卡汉吉(29.4%)和姆巴什(17.5%)的患病率最高，而纳尔逊曼德拉湾市(27.7%)和雷蒙德姆拉巴市(34.9%)的细菌性疾病患病率更高。以秋季(53.8%)和春季(58.5%)居多。细菌和病毒性疾病的比例最高的是山羊(97.2%)和牛(41.4%)。秋季Intsika yethu市(OR = 3.279, 95% CI = 0.043 ~ 263.6)和牛(OR = 58.825, 95% CI = 16.283 ~ 205.591)的发病率最高(OR = 2.131, 95% CI = 0.815 ~ 5.569)。研究结果表明，兽医当局应加强预防计划活动，以减轻研究区牲畜疾病。
