Abstract: Objective To analyze the characteristics of Brucellosis epidemic control in Tianzhen county from 2001 to 2010 for exploring measures for the prevention and control of brucellosis in the areas of prevalence. Methods Statistical analysis was performed of the brucellosis epidemics from 2001 to 2010 in Tianzhen county. Results There were 1958 new cases of brucellosis reported in Tianzhen county during the 10 years with an average annual incidence rate of 100.53/10⁵. Farmers were predominantly affected. An obvious seasonal periodicity was seen in terms of the incidence of the epidemic, with it spreading from a small area of the county to all of the 11 townships of the county year by year. Conclusion The source of infection was not effectively controlled because of frequent livestock trading during 2001 to 2005 with a significant increase in new cases. The epidemic was kept under control in 2006 to 2010 through intensive surveillance, free and timely standardized treatment of patients and file management, combined with intensified propaganda of the knowledge about brucellosis prevention and control, cooperation of departments concerned under the auspices of the local government, strengthened quarantine, and elimination of livestock with brucellosis.
