brucellosis, cattle, spread of brucellosis, monitoring, diagnosis and elimination of brucellosis.Abstract
The purpose of the work was to analyze a case of brucellosis of cattle in one of the farms in the region of Casablanca-Settat (Morocco), to identify deficiencies in the prevention system that led to the outbreak of the disease, to propose measures to improve the control system and prevent repeated outbreaks of brucellosis. Clinical manifestations of the disease included abortions and stillbirths in 19.0 % of calving cows. Serological studies showed the total seroprevalence of the group at the level of 40.7 %. All the livestock of the farm was liquidated.
