Persistence Factors of Brucellosis in Humans and Animals: Priority of Vulgarization and Sanitary Education in Developing Countries

Persistence risk factors of brucellosis are various and complex. The most exposed populations to contract brucellosis, are those linked to livestock breeding. While some developed countries have succeed to control brucellosis, several other countries are still fighting this disease. The illeteracy, the lack of sanitary consiousness, the humans wrong habitudes and the search to satisfy sensorial desires, are the main causes of brucellosis persistence in third world countries. Brucellosis causes great losses in livestocks of developing and have an abvious impact on Human health and environnement. Economies of these countries are influenced by obligatory slauthering of infected animals, forbiding of export of animal products and long treatment charges of infected Humans. Since 1897, various diagnostic methods had been developed, however the high costs of the most efficient tools limit significantly their spread in developing countries. Therefore, prophylactic plans would be strongly reactivated to obtain more effectiveness in brucellosis eradication, in areas where the disease persists. In the case of lack of advanced diagnostic tools, vulgarization of populations at risk ; using vernacular and local languages through mass-media means and scholastic sanitary education, seems to be the most efficient and enduring solution to fight brucellosis in Humans and animals.
