Objective: Brucellosis is a highly contagious disease which is transmitted from animals to humans. One of the populations at high risk of infection is those living in rural areas. The present study was conducted to investigate rural populations' knowledge, attitude, and practice about brucellosis in Iran. The study used a descriptive, cross-sectional design to assess 300 individuals who were living in rural areas. The subjects were selected using convenience sampling from six villages located in the south of Iran. The data gathered were analyzed using Analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS version 23.
Results: From the 300 individuals who were enrolled in this study, 189 were male and 111 were female. The mean age of the participants was 48.27 ± 4.28 years. The mean scores of the study population's knowledge, attitude, and practice about brucellosis were found to be low. A significant direct correlation was found between the subjects' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding brucellosis.
