The strong bond between herder and livestock was forged centuries ago in rural Mongolia and remains an element of national pride and a cornerstone to the economy. However, semi-nomadic herders frequently live at the edge of human health care, veterinary services, and municipal infrastructure like water and sanitation. This study examined zoonotic risk factors and disease perceptions among 150 rural herding households. Less than half of the participating households used an improved drinking water source (43.3%), and the majority of herding families did not use an improved sanitation service (68.5%). Almost half of the study population practise open defaecation (49.7%). Hand washing occurs after animal contact (78%) but not after defaecation/urination (76.6%). Domestic animal ownership and/or presence was reported at every household, and exposure risks varied by the gender of the household member. Most households had knowledge about zoonotic disease transmission (74%) but far less recognized the risk of reverse zoonoses, or human-to-animal disease transmission (53.3%). Few survey respondents believed that animal contact is a risk factor for diarrhoeal disease (8.7%). This study highlights zoonotic disease exposure risks from animal husbandry practices and inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene access and behaviours among rural herding households. Zoonotic disease prevention among Mongolian herders should be implemented using a One Health framework to simultaneously address human, animal, and environmental health concerns of rural herding households.

蒙古牧民家庭中有关人畜共患病的知识和实践

牧民和牲畜之间的牢固纽带是几个世纪前在蒙古农村地区建立起来的,它仍然是民族自豪感的组成部分,也是经济的基石。但是,半游牧者经常生活在人类保健,兽医服务以及诸如水和卫生设施之类的市政基础设施的边缘。这项研究调查了150个农村牧民家庭的人畜共患病危险因素和疾病感知。不到一半的参与家庭使用了改善的饮用水水源(43.3%),大多数牧民家庭没有使用改善的卫生服务(68.5%)。几乎一半的研究人群采用开放式排便(49.7%)。与动物接触后(78%)洗手,但排便/排尿后未洗手(76.6%)。据报告每个家庭都有家畜所有权和/或存在,暴露风险因家庭成员的性别而异。大多数家庭都了解人畜共患疾病的传播(74%),但很少有人认识到人畜共患病或人畜共患疾病的风险(53.3%)。很少有受访者认为动物接触是腹泻病的危险因素(8.7%)。这项研究强调了畜牧业实践以及农村牧民家庭饮水,卫生和卫生设施不足以及行为不足引起的人畜共患疾病风险。蒙古牧民中的人畜共患疾病预防工作应采用“一个健康”框架实施,以同时解决农村牧民家庭的人类,动物和环境健康问题。大多数家庭都了解人畜共患疾病的传播(74%),但很少有人认识到人畜共患病或人畜共患疾病的风险(53.3%)。很少有受访者认为动物接触是腹泻病的危险因素(8.7%)。这项研究强调了畜牧业实践以及农村牧民家庭饮水,卫生和卫生设施不足以及行为不足引起的人畜共患疾病风险。蒙古牧民中的人畜共患疾病预防工作应采用“一个健康”框架实施,以同时解决农村牧民家庭的人类,动物和环境健康问题。大多数家庭都了解人畜共患疾病的传播(74%),但很少有人认识到人畜共患病或人畜共患疾病的风险(53.3%)。很少有受访者认为动物接触是腹泻病的危险因素(8.7%)。这项研究强调了畜牧业实践以及农村牧民家庭饮水,卫生和卫生设施不足以及行为不足引起的人畜共患疾病风险。蒙古牧民中的人畜共患疾病预防工作应采用“一个健康”框架实施,以同时解决农村牧民家庭的人类,动物和环境健康问题。7%)。这项研究强调了畜牧业实践以及农村牧民家庭饮水,卫生和卫生设施不足以及行为不足引起的人畜共患疾病风险。蒙古牧民中的人畜共患疾病预防工作应采用“一个健康”框架实施,以同时解决农村牧民家庭的人类,动物和环境健康问题。7%)。这项研究强调了畜牧业实践以及农村牧民家庭饮水,卫生和卫生设施不足以及行为不足引起的人畜共患疾病风险。蒙古牧民中的人畜共患疾病预防工作应采用“一个健康”框架实施,以同时解决农村牧民家庭的人类,动物和环境健康问题。
