The AAPC was 0.812%, with no significant changing trend (P>0.05). The incidence of brucellosis peaked from February to March, with 80 cases (29.63%). The reported cases were mainly distributed in Shangyu District (139 cases, 51.48%) and Shengzhou City (74 cases, 27.41%).

Among these, 86 cases were reported in the 50 to <60 years of age group, accounting for 41.95%. The majority of the cases were farmers, with 187 cases accounting for 69.26%. The median interval from onset to diagnosis was 22.73 (interquartile range, 39.97) days, with a delayed diagnosis rate of 62.96%. Infections through breeding, selling and transporting cattle and sheep resulted in 164 cases (60.74%), and through buying and slaughtering resulted in 36 cases (13.33%). An outbreak of brucellosis was reported in Xinchang County in 2018, with three confirmed cases.
