摘要
Brucellosis is an important zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella encountered in animals such as cows, sheep, goats and pigs as well as in humans. It is one of the most widely seen infections and nearly half a million cases are declared annually. Endemic infections occur especially in the Mediterranean, Middle East, Latin America and Asia.~1 Seropositiveness ratios vary between 2% and 12% in Turkey.~2 The average annual number of cases declared to the Turkish Ministry of Health between 1991 and 2000 was 9000.~3
