Frequência de brucelose bovina em rebanhos leiteiros e em seres humanos na região central do estado do Maranhão, Brasil

Abstract: RESUMO: Objetivou-se com este estudo estimar a frequência da brucelose em bovinos e em ordenhadores na região central do Maranhão. Foram escolhidas, no período de maio a outubro de 2013, de forma aleatória, 35 propriedades cadastradas na Agência Estadual de Defesa Agropecuária do Maranhão (AGED-MA) e analisados sorologicamente 525 bovinos com aptidão leiteira, hemossoros de 60 ordenhadores, além de ter sido aplicado questionário epidemiológico para investigar os fatores de risco associados à infecção. O protoc… Show more

“…If one takes into consideration that products were intercepted due to some non-conformity in transportation, such as lack of origin certification, it was possible perceiving the significant risk of having these products transmitting different pathogens to consumers. In addition, since Maranhão State is endemic to Brucella abortus (CARVALHO et al, 2016), these products can be associated with the state's health status. According to Sugiura; Murray (2011), determining whether, or not, a given pathogen is likely to be found in the place of origin of a certain product, and identifying the product spreading such pathogen, is essential to help classifying microbial agents as hazardous.…”

“…Some of these variables were previously described in other studies as important risk factors for infections affecting cattle. Among the aforementioned variables, one finds purchase of animals, presence of sheep/goats and pigs, diarrhea, miscarriage and pasture sharing (BEZERRA et al, 2012;CHAVES et al, 2012;OLIVEIRA et al, 2013;PRAZERES et al, 2014;CARVALHO et al, 2016).…”

“…Losses caused by bovine brucellosis are countless; infected herds face decreased milk and meat productivity. Moreover, the presence of the disease leads to animal price devaluation in the market, as well as to devaluation in the price of animal-origin products from endemic regions; longer calving intervals in the herds, miscarriages in infected females, sterility, sacrifice of reagent animals and consequent extra expenses due to the purchase of new animals (CARVALHO et al, 2016).…”

“…Isso se deve ao fato de que vacas prenhes são mais suscetíveis à infecção pela bactéria que causa a brucelose, doença que pode afetar o sistema nervoso central, o coração, os ossos, as articulações, o fígado e o aparelho digestivo. A transmissão se faz por contaminação direta pelo contato com fetos abortados, placentas e descargas uterinas, ou pelo consumo de carne e laticínios (Lawinsky et al, 2010;Carvalho et al, 2016).…”
