بسم الله الرحمن الرحيمبسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Brucellosis

2

A disease, primarily of animals, that can be transmitted to humans as a result of direct or indirect contact with the infected animal population

ZOONOSIS

Brucella are Ideal Biological Warfare Agents

• They are highly infectious

• They can be easily aerosolized

• They are stable in production, storage, & delivery

• They are sensitive to sunlight

• They cause high morbidity, but low mortality

• There are no human vaccines against brucellosis

• There is high economic loss to animal agriculture

Seasonal distribution in Iran

12

Effect of GenderEffect of Gender• Men aged 15-45 years are affected

twice as often as women of the same age

• Male predominance seem to be a factor in some cases

• The man is more likely than the woman to be exposed to the heaviest concentration of organisms

13

Effect of GenderEffect of Gender• In Iran both sexes are nearly always

equally contacted with contaminated animals and dairy products

• There is not a significant predominance of male to female brucellosis in Iran

Age distribution Age distribution • Children are affected very much less

than adults

• The odd low incidence in children is unexplained

• It may be that gastric acidity is less often deficient than in adult

• Occupational exposure is much more important

Brucellosis in animals

Transmitted by contact with infected tissue or milk (oral, aerosol or abrasion) Predilection for erythritol rich organs (breast, uterus, epididymis, ect.)Abortions, mastitis and sterility

22

Transmission of brucellosisTransmission of brucellosis

• Farmers / Ranchers

• Veterinarians (food animal practice)

• Brucellosis eradication personnel

• Meat inspection personnel

• Abattoir workers

• Laboratory personnel

23

Transmission of brucellosisTransmission of brucellosis

Brucellosis as a Food Borne Disease

• Is not occupation related

• Often no history of animal contact

• May occur outside brucellosis enzootic areas

• Often occurs in outbreaks

• May involve women & children

• May involve travelers to brucellosis enzootic areas

Occurrence in Wildlife

26

ReservoirReservoir• Mammalian parasite

• Host specificity is not exclusive

• Horse is occasionally infected

• Serum from camels have proved positive

• Have been isolated from foxes, buffaloes, elk, moose, deer, polecats

• Rabbits have been infected

• Infection of hares have proved

27

ReservoirReservoir• Flies, mosquitoes, ticks and other insects

can be infected with all species

• Ticks have transmitted to guinea pigs by biting

• Dogs and cats are fairly resistant

• Has not been found in monkeys

28

• In many parts of the world, cattle are heavily infected

• Br. Abortus is most commonly involved

• They may readily infect with Br. Melitensis and Br. suis

Infection of CattleInfection of Cattle

29

• Br. Melitensis do not cause serious symptoms in cattle

• Br. Abortus may lead to death of the fetus and abortion

• The aborted fetus, the placenta and the discharge from vagina are all heavily contaminated

Infection of CattleInfection of Cattle

30

Infection of CattleInfection of Cattle• Brucella tend to lodge in mammary gland

and supramammary lymph nodes

• They may shed in the milk for years

• The organisms tend to settle in the testicles, epididymis and seminal vesicles

• Organisms may be present in the semen and may transmit sexually

• Transmission by artificial insemination

• In cattle is a serious economic and public health problem

31

Infection of GoatsInfection of Goats

• Is always due to Br. Melitensis

• Abortion is not a prominent symptoms

• Reduced fertility in the herd

• Br. Melitensis is passed in enormous numbers in the milk

for 6-7 month

32

Infection of SheepInfection of Sheep

• Is always due to Br. Melitensis

• Is occasionally due to Br. Abortus or Br. Suis

• Affecting fertility and meat and wool production

33

Infection of SwineInfection of Swine

• Br. Suis is the most common brucella in swine

• Swine may infect with brucella abortus and melitensis

• The semen may be teeming with brucella and the boar may disseminate infection throughout the herd
