Epidemiological Investigation of Brucellosis in a Beef Cattle Farm in Yichun of Jiangxi Province

布鲁菌病是一种以母畜流产、暂时或永久性不育、产奶量下降为主要特征的一种人畜共患传染病,严重危害畜牧业发展和人类健康。为了掌握江西省宜春市某肉牛场布鲁菌病感染情况,以便做好布鲁菌病的预防、控制和净化工作,采用虎红平板凝集试验和试管凝集试验,对该规模化肉牛养殖场的300余头肉牛进行随机抽检。结果显示,随机抽检的60头肉牛样品中,布鲁菌病感染率为0,表明该牛场的布鲁菌病防控措施有效。

Brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease characterized by abortion and decreased milk yield in female animals as well as sterility in male animals. The re-emerging and prevalence of this disease causes high economic losses in livestock production industry and poses a great threat to the public health security. In an attempt to understand the prevalence of brucellosis among a beef cattle farm in Yichun of Jiangxi Province, 60 blood samples were randomly collected from the 300 beef cattle in this farm and were screened for the presence of antibodies against Brucella by using Rose Bengal test and tube agglutination test. No positive results were obtained in both of the tests, indicating the effective control measures for brucellosis in this beef cattle farm.
