Description
Brucellosis is a serious disease caused by bacteria of the Brucella genus. It principally affects ruminants but may be transmitted to humans. Registration of cases in cattle farms causes considerable economic losses and creates favorable conditions for mass infection among humans. In Armenia the expansion of animal industries and urbanization are the main reasons for occurrence and development of brucellosis.
Objective
