Abstract

Objective To explore the prevalence and related risk factors of brucellosis in Jiaojiang district, Taizhou, Zhejiang province, China. Methods From 2011 to 2018, sampling was performed in Jiaojiang district in proportion to its population, and serological tests were performed for the high-risk population of brucellosis. The Rose Bengal plate test was used for initial screening, and the diagnosis of positive patients was confirmed by the tube agglutination test. The chi-square test was used to compare the positive rates of Brucella antibodies in the subjects with different monitoring years, sexes, ages, years of exposure, and types of work and in different regions. Results A total of 275 people were monitored, and 15 (5.45%) tested positive for Brucella antibodies. Cattle raising was a risk factor for brucellosis (χ2=12.744, P=0.013). The workers with a service length of 5-10 years had the highest antibody-positive rate (13.89%). A total of 9 147 dairy cows were monitored, and 167 (1.83%) of which tested positive for Brucella antibodies. Conclusion Brucella infection persists in Jiaojiang district, so it is necessary to strengthen the training and promotion of brucellosis prevention and control knowledge for the high-risk population, improve their self-protection awareness, and protect them when raising livestock and processing beef and mutton to reduce the infection rate of brucellosis in this area.
