A systematic review and meta-analysis of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia in Ethiopian cattle.

ABSTRACT: Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a severe respiratory disease in cattle, caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides. It poses a major threat to cattle health and livestock productivity. We aimed to pool CBPP prevalence estimates from different regions of Ethiopia, assessing implications for cattle management and productivity. The review followed PRISMA guidelines and searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, HINARI, Google, and Google Scholar from January to February 2024. Funnel plots and Egger's regression tests were used to assess publication bias and small study effects. A pooled prevalence and 95 % confidence interval (CI) were calculated using R software. Twenty-three studies, covering 52,373 cattle, showed high heterogeneity (I² = 99 %, p < 0.0001). The po
