Description

Brucellosis is a bacterial zoonosis caused by Brucella species. Brucellosis is an ancient re-emerging bacterial zoonotic disease caused by species of the Brucella genus, affects a wide range of domesticated and adult wildlife, and plays a significant economic impact on the public health and the livestock sector. Improvement of knowledge, attitudes and practices among dairy farm workers could have a significant impact on reduction of zoonotic brucellosis in daily farming. A synergistic “One Health” approach to this type of education on the farms would be ideal to boost the change of practices needed at the farm and household level. This book suggests that bovine brucellosis is endemic in eight military dairy farms of different areas in Bangladesh. B. abortus was the causal agent of bovine brucellosis which had been identified for the first time as an etiological agent of human brucellosis in occupationally exposed military dairy farm workers in Bangladesh.
