The survey was carried out in Mali (Bamako, Koulikoro, Mopti, and Sikasso regions) and Niger (Tahoua, Dosso, and Tillab\u00e9ry regions). A total of 1230 animals from 82 herds were tested, including 645 animals from 43 herds in Mali and 585 animals from 39 herds in Niger. At the herd level, apparent seroprevalence was significantly higher in Mali than in Niger (37.21% vs. 15.38%). Within each country, animal-level seroprevalence varied across region, with the highest levels observed in Bamako (11.11%) and Mopti (7.62%) in Mali, and Dosso (6.67%) in Niger. High within-herd prevalence (&gt;20%) was identified in only one herd per country. The higher overall herd-level seroprevalence in Mali was primarily driven by a greater number of herds with low (\u226410%) within-herd seroprevalence. Univariate risk factor analysis at the animal level identified a borderline trend toward higher odds of seropositivity in crossbred cattle than other breeds (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.00\u20133.81, p = 0.0503). In addition, a classification tree analysis highlighted seven exploratory signals of the positive herd status. These included four animal\/management-level factors\u2014herd region, environmental disposal of aborted placentas, the number of lactating cows (as a proxy for animal density), and reported herd abortions\u2014as well as three human-level signals within the household: a history of miscarriage, experiencing heavy night sweats, and suffering from undulant fever. In conclusion, this survey provides new insights into bovine brucellosis and its epidemiology in dairy herds in Mali and Niger, confirming established high-prevalence areas such as Bamako and identifying new zones of concern, such as Mopti and Dosso. Our findings underscore that bovine brucellosis remains an important public health and economic threat in both countries. Given that the identified positive regions are hubs for milk production and consumption, these data may support health authorities in implementing targeted surveillance, control, and prevention strategies under a One Health approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens15070764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]],"date-time":"2026-07-21T10:35:52Z","timestamp":1784630152000},"page":"764","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bovine Brucellosis in Dairy Herds in Mali and Niger, 2024: Apparent Seroprevalence and Epidemiological Factors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7668-3835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abel S.","family":"Biguezoton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vector-Borne Diseases and Biodiversity Unit (UMaVeB), International Research and Development Centre on Livestock in Sub-Humid Areas (CIRDES), Bobo-Dioulasso BP 454, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chaka","family":"Traore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire Central V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire (LCV), Bamako BP 2295, Mali"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haladou","family":"Gagara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire Central de l\u2019\u00e9levage (LABOCEL), Niamey BP 485, Niger"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3383-0997","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Der","family":"Dabire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vector-Borne Diseases and Biodiversity Unit (UMaVeB), International Research and Development Centre on Livestock in Sub-Humid Areas (CIRDES), Bobo-Dioulasso BP 454, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zakaria","family":"Bengaly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vector-Borne Diseases and Biodiversity Unit (UMaVeB), International Research and Development Centre on Livestock in Sub-Humid Areas (CIRDES), Bobo-Dioulasso BP 454, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1084-2343","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahaman Maaouia","family":"Abdou Moussa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 d\u2019Agronomie (FA), Universit\u00e9 Abdou Moumouni (UAM), Niamey BP 10896, Niger"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ra\u00efssa Bakinahe","family":"Ntamukunzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sciensano, Belgian Institute for Health, 1050 Brussels, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2243-2615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kader","family":"Issoufou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Belgian Agency for International Cooperation (Enabel), Niamey BP 12 987, Niger"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ma\u00efmouna","family":"Ousmane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Belgian Agency for International Cooperation (Enabel), Niamey BP 12 987, Niger"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9087-7436","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claude","family":"Saegerman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit in Epidemiology, Risk Analysis and Biosecurity Applied to Veterinary Sciences (UREAR-ULiege), Fundamental and Applied Research for Animals & Health (FARAH) Center, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Liege, 4000 Liege, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7191-9191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcella","family":"Mori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sciensano, Belgian Institute for Health, 1050 Brussels, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"775","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(07)70286-4","article-title":"Human Brucellosis","volume":"7","author":"Franco","year":"2007","journal-title":"Lancet Infect.
