Survey on the Surveillance of Cattle and Sheep Brucellosis in Anhui Province
In order to fully investigate the surveillance of cattle and sheep brucellosis in Anhui Province,a survey lasting for three months was conducted by way of integrating on-site visit with questionnaire.The results showed that the prevalence of the disease was relatively low(0.22%)in general,but different for the individual positive rate in each year;positive samples were detected out from livestock breeding farms,commercial contract farms,free-range households,slaughterhouses,trade markets and other premises;there were 3 municipalities without veterinary laboratories at municipal level,9 veterinary laboratories at county level were not in formal operation,and the average number of laboratory staffing was only about 60%of the actual need;the funding for laboratories at all levels was generally insufficient and lack of regular sources;the number of human brucellosis cases and their geographical scope were increasing and expanding,operators related to livestock farming were mainly involved.Overall,cattle and sheep brucellosis was widely distributed in Anhui Province,veterinary laboratories had poor monitoring capacity,and occupational population at high risk was less trained for the knowledge of brucellosis prevention and control.Therefore,with regular development of cattle and sheep industry across the province,it was necessary to further improve monitoring of the disease and train occupational population at high risk for self-protection,give high priority to the funding investment of veterinary laboratories and professional and technical staffing,with a view to safeguarding brucellosis monitoring and steadily improving the monitoring capacity of key links in major areas.
