Resumen
Tuberculosis and Brucellosis are zoonotic pathologies and have permanent
development in vertebrate animals and humans, which are closely related to
environmental and public health issues, when inserted in the herds represent major
economic damage to cattle and buffalo cattle and human health. As this is an important
issue, there was a requirement to conduct a survey to know the perception of high
school students from three public schools in Mazagão city about these diseases and
the possible risks regarding the fresh food consumption from infected animals. The
study was conducted through a semi-structured questionnaire with 11 closed questions
on the theme zoonosis, and was applied to 196 students attending the 1st, 2nd and
3rd year of high school. The analysis of the obtained data was performed through the
Anova Test two criteria, being performed the comparison of means through the Tukey
test. It was observed that 12,88% of the students affirmed to know or to have heard
about the term zoonosis, evidencing the significant ignorance of the students in relation
to the term, fact that can be related to the lack of the approach of the theme in the
school environment that obtained only 16,20% However, 85,67% of the students
associated the term with the concept correctly. It was also concluded that 97,69% of
the students are concerned about the food hygiene, but 45,22% affirm that they
consume underdone meat, 60,20% the fresh milk and 84,37% the consumption of
cheese and milk derivatives. The consumption of fresh products can be justified by the
lack of knowledge regarding the origin and quality of the product, habits can be
considered as a risk factor for public health. This paper presents an approach to
zoonoses in public schools and the data suggest that issues involving this theme are
important in an attempt to minimize problems related to public health, because many
zoonotic diseases, including brucellosis and tuberculosis disease are directly related
to the ingestion of contaminated food
