Abstract
VARGAS-CHIARELLA, Carlos Ricardo; CHIARELLA DARRAS, Giovanna Denisse and VARGAS GUZMAN, Roberto Antonio. REVISION SISTEMÁTICA DE BRUCELOSIS: MÉTODOS Y ESTUDIOS EPIDEMIOLOGICOS. Rev Cient Cienc Méd [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.1, pp.45-51. ISSN 2077-3323.
Brucellosis is the most prevalent zoonosis in the world, probably subrecorded in several countries due to unspecific manifestation and absence of serotyping programs. Diagnostic is biased by cross-reactions, cattle control and its interaction with humans, presenting difficulties when endemic countries situation is addressed, due to the lack of resources to eradicate or to know incidence at species and subspecies level. Hence is necessary to look at the methodology applied in countries addressing this problem, and at the tools available to project sanitary and trade strategies able to control it articles published between 2006-2015 were chosen fromWorldcat.org and PubMed, selected based on medical-epidemiological subject, availability and strategies presentation. Conclusion was that the basis for brucellosis control are coordination with common folk, permanent control of cattle trade and risk population, and sanitary strategies evaluation before, during and after the implementation of the late, using every available mathematic and laboratorial tool.
