Background: Brucellosis is a neglected debilitating zoonosis widely recognized as an occupational health hazard. The seroprevalence of human anti-Brucella antibodies in high-risk populations, as well as their risk factors, have not been well documented in Zambia.

Methods: A cross-sectional seroepidemiological study was carried out between May 2019 and December 2020 among abattoir workers...
