To determine the prevalence of cattle schistosomiasis with farmers' practices toward the prevention and control of zoonotic trematodes, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 423 cattle and 120 farmers in Maya City between October 2023 and May 2024 using simple random sampling. Out of 423 cattle, 78 (18.44%, 95% CI 15.01–22.44) were positive for schistosomiasis. For crossbred cattle (OR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.14–0.73), old age (OR: 3.64, 95% CI: 1.74–7.63), poor body condition (OR: 4.9, 95% CI: 1.36–17.73), and extensive management (OR: 4.71, 95% CI: 2.53–8.76) were statistically significant factors for the prevalence of cattle schistosomiasis; however, sex, subcity, and farming type had no significant association with the prevalence of the diseases. Even though all farmers have a latrine in their home, 64.2% of the respondents defecated openly in the bush or in and around water. Most (80.8%) farmers also eat raw fish and raw vegetables, and around half of them (45%) did not clean the feeding and watering troughs of their animals regularly. Cattle farmers' overall level of positive practice was 12.5% . The respondents' education level had a significant association with positive practice, but gender, farming experience, marital status, age group, income per month, and subcity had no significant association. Cattle farmers' practice toward the prevention and control of zoonotic trematodes is very low in Maya City; therefore, to mitigate the burden of this disease in animals and humans at the same time, promoting a one health approach is encouraged in Eastern Ethiopia.  \nKeywords: cattle schistosomiasis; Ethiopia; preventive practices; zoonotic trematodes  \n1. Introduction  \nIn different agroecological areas of Ethiopia, trematode parasites in ruminants and their related snail vectors are the main pressing concern. Ethiopia's diverse agroecological regions, which vary from lowlands to highlands, provide different suitable habitats for the presence and spread of trematode parasites and their snails. Trematode parasites have a significant impact on the health of farm animals, causing considerable economic loss and public health threats [1]. Schistosoma bovisis a trematode parasite of ruminants spread by freshwater snails in sub-Saharan Africa. The disease causes bovine intestinal schistosomiasis, which results in chronic illness and substantial economic loss in agricultural sectors [2].  \nTrematode infections, such as fascioliasis and schistosomiasis, are zoonotic snail-borne parasitic diseases that put animal and human health at risk, and they are the major cause of the socioeconomic losses of many countries. Both the intermediate hosts and transmitting vectors for these waterborne parasitic diseases are snails [3] . Those trematodal diseases are tremendously prevalent in animals across tropical regions and are documented as the most significant","cbCaicv8BZHroA4i","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicv8BZHroA4i","pdf",1074085,11,"English","# Introduction\n## Study setting and background on trematodes and schistosomiasis","[{\"question\":\"What was studied in Maya City, Eastern Ethiopia?\",\"answer\":\"The study examined cattle schistosomiasis prevalence and farmers' practices related to preventing and controlling zoonotic trematodes in Maya City.\"},{\"question\":\"How was prevalence of cattle schistosomiasis determined?\",\"answer\":\"A cross-sectional survey used simple random sampling of 423 cattle and 120 farmers, and 78 cattle (18.44%) tested positive for schistosomiasis.\"},{\"question\":\"Which farmers' practices were linked to low prevention and control?\",\"answer\":\"Although most respondents had latrines, many still defecated openly around bush or water, many ate raw fish and vegetables, and about half did not regularly clean feeding and watering troughs.\"}]","Cattle Schistosomiasis With Farmers' Practice Regarding the Prevention and Control of Zoonotic Trematodes in Maya City, Eastern Ethiopia | PDF",1790683310,28]
