screening of household family members of brucellosis cases and Neighboring Community members in azerbaijan
American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013Co-Authors: Rita Ismayilova, Rupal Mody, Rakif Abdullayev, Kamala Amirova, Latafat Jabbarova, Narmin Ustun, Musa Jahanov, Emilya Nasirova, Marilyn Powers, Robert G RivardAbstract:Brucellosis is an endemic zoonotic disease in Azerbaijan. The first human brucellosis case reported in 1922 was in Pardabil village of a region currently named Shabran. Household members of brucellosis index cases are a population at risk for brucellosis infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of seropositivity of brucellosis among household and Neighboring Community members of brucellosis index cases in Azerbaijan. Twenty-one household members of 8 index brucellosis cases and 27 Community neighbors were serologically tested for evidence of exposure by the serum agglutination test. Of these, the brucellosis seropositivity rate was 9.5% and 7.4%, respectively. Screening of household members of index cases and individuals who live in proximity to infected household members is a practical approach to increase the detection of brucellosis exposure.

Screening of household members of index cases and individuals who live in proximity to infected household members is a practical approach to increase the detection of brucellosis exposure. Brucellosis is also known as Bang's disease, Malta fever, Mediterranean fever, or undulant fever, and is the most com- mon zoonotic infection worldwide. 1 This bacterial disease affects a variety of animals and is transmitted to humans by three main routes: direct contact with tissue and body fluids from infected animals, inhalation of infectious aerosols, and ingestion of contaminated food such as unpasteurized dairy products. Four species of Brucella can infect humans, Brucella melitensis the most severe pathogen followed by Brucella suis, Brucella abortus ,a ndBrucella canis. 2

expansion of brucellosis detection in the country of georgia by screening household members of cases and Neighboring Community members
BMC Public Health, 2015Co-Authors: Lia Sanodze, Christian T Bautista, Natalia Garuchava, Svetlana Chubinidze, Ekaterine Tsertsvadze, Mariam Broladze, Nazibrola Chitadze, Ketevan Sidamonidze, Shota TsanavaAbstract:Brucellosis is considered as endemic zoonotic disease in the country of Georgia. However, the burden of the disease on a household level is not known. Therefore, this study sought to determine the benefits of active surveillance coupled to serological screening for the early detection of brucellosis among close contacts of brucellosis cases.
