We evaluated the knowledge, attitude and practices relating to Brucellosis in KPK, Pakistan. The findings of the current study showed that most of the participants are not aware of the transmission, treatment and hygienic measures of brucellosis. Furthermore, it was observed that most of the veterinary professional had a deep knowledge about brucellosis transmission, treatment and prevention strategies. However, poor trends of attitude, and practices regarding brucellosis in the current group of people selected for this study. It was indeed a matter of attention because the major group of people having even direct contact with the animal still had no or poor knowledge about zoonotic diseases including brucellosis. Self-medication inclination was noticed in the majority of participants. Self-medication is not only dangerous for the users himself but also a threat to the globe. Because of self-medication, bacterial resistance creates which is another burning issue not only facing Pakistan but also the globe. The farmers in villages have limited or no access to the animal health related facilities in the majority of areas of KPK, Pakistan. The other reasons for the above shortcomings were lack of scientific knowledge, communication gap among Veterinarians, human health professionals and common people of the community. Even though Pakistan is an agricultural country where most of the people practices livestock, however, to date, not a single centre for zoonotic diseases has been established in Pakistan.
