Abstract
Background/ Aim: Brucellosis is a communicable disease with highly significance in human and veterinary practices as well as responsible forsubstantial economic losses in cattle. This study aimed to detect the incidence of brucellosis for three successive years from 2016–2018 in Monufiya governorate using Rose Bengal test. In addition to apply the Geographic Information System (GIS) 10.1 to investigate the patterns of the disease and to identify high-risk areas of the disease.
Methods: A total of 75,697 animals (43,274 cattle, 19,974 buffaloes, 8,684 sheep, and 3,765 goats) were tested by RBPT and the obtained data were subjected to the Geographic Information System (GIS) 10.1 to investigate the patterns of the disease over the period from 2016-2018 and to identify high-risk areas of the disease.
Results: The reported results indicated that the highest incidence rate of brucellosis in Ashmoun center 3% other than in other cities in cattle and buffaloes. In the other side, the incidence rates in both sheep and goats varied widely between cities and even in the same city within the three years.
Conclusion: The animal's movement represent a major source of infection dissemination in Monufiya governorate. Strict measures and preventive strategies must be regulating to prevent the dissemination of brucellosis in Monufiya, especially in moveable flocks.
