Abstract:
Objective:To keep abreast of the latest prevalence, distribution and hot spot changes of human brucellosis in the world.Methods:Officially provided national reports were used as the first hand while the epidemiological data from the World Organization for Animal Health were the second data, regarding the human brucellosis. The annual incidence of each country was calculated by data extraction and transformation and the global distribution of human brucellosis was described.Results:The high incidence rates of brucellosis were seen in countries as Kenya (203.07 cases per 100 000), Yemen (89.96), Syria (47.26), Greece (42.96) and Eritrea (21.82). Compared with"The new global map of human brucellosis"written by Georgios Pappas, et al. in 2006, the situation of brucellosis in many epidemic areas has improved. However, new hot spots of this disease continue to appear, especially in Africa and the Middle East countries with incidence of the disease fluctuating. Conclusion:In the past ten years, the global incidence and distribution of brucellosis have changed greatly, in many countries.
