Abstract
Description
Zoonoses account for the most commonly reported emerging and re-emerging infectious
diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is limited knowledge on how pastoral com-
munities perceive zoonoses in relation to their livelihoods, culture and their wider ecology.
This study was carried out to explore local knowledge and perceptions on zoonoses among
pastoralists in Tanzania.
