Considering
the fact that a major part of diseases occurring in humans are caused by
animals, thinking of the fact that animal health directly affects human health
and animal products are unquestionably required for human nutrition, it is
concluded that human health depends on animal health. In this context,
brucellosis is an important zoonotic disease that causes economic losses for
our producers, adversely affects sustainable livestock raising and treats
public health. Human brucellosis is transmitted by the result that humans
directly or indirectly contact infected animals. Therefore, prevention of
infection in humans and its control depends on breaking of this contact chain
and control of infection in animal reservoirs and its elimination. For these
reasons, in this report content, concise information was given about present
condition, problems, actions to be taken and solution proposals concerning
brucellosis in Turkey.
