Hayvanlarda Bruselloz ve Tek Sağlık Yaklaşımı

Öz

Bruselloz, insan ve hayvanlarda sebep olduğu karmaşık enfeksiyonlar sebebiyle halk sağlığı ve ekonomik açıdan önemini hala sürdürmektedir. Özellikle son yıllarda, hayvanlarda bilinçsiz antibiyotik kullanımı sebebi ile dirençli bakteri suşlarının görülme sıklığı artmış, bu durum da brucellosis gibi önemli bakteriyel hastalıkların tedavisini ve kontrolünü zorlaştırır hale getirmiştir. Bu karmaşık sorunla mücadelede, insan, hayvan ve çevre sağlığını bir bütün olarak ele alan Tek Sağlık yaklaşımının benimsenmesi artık kaçınılmaz bir gerçektir. Bu yaklaşım; hayvanlarda aşılama, sürveyans, biyogüvenlik önlemleri, toplumun bilinçlendirilmesi ve antibiyotik kullanımının rasyonelleştirilmesi gibi çok disiplinli ve entegre stratejileri içerecek şekilde ele alınmalıdır. Brusellozun etkin kontrolü, ancak bu bütüncül çabalarla mümkündür.

Brucellosis in Animals and Approaching the Issue within the One Health Framework

Öz

Brucellosis remains a disease of considerable public health and economic concern due to the complex infections it causes in both humans and animals. In recent years, the emergence and increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains—primarily driven by the indiscriminate use of antimicrobials in animals—have further complicated the treatment and control of brucellosis and other major bacterial diseases. Addressing this multifaceted challenge necessitates the adoption of the One Health framework, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health considerations. Within this framework, effective brucellosis control should be pursued through coordinated and multidisciplinary strategies, including systematic vaccination of animal populations, robust surveillance programs, implementation of biosecurity measures, public education initiatives, and the promotion of prudent antimicrobial use. Sustainable and effective control of brucellosis can only be achieved through such comprehensive and integrated efforts.
