FREQUENCY OF BRUCELLOSIS IN THE POPULATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

Brucellosis, also known as Brucellosis, is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted to humans
through contact with infected animals or consumption of contaminated animal products. It is a
significant public health concern in many parts of the world, including the Republic of
Kazakhstan. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of brucellosis in the population
of Kazakhstan. To do this, we conducted a retrospective analysis of brucellosis cases reported to
the Kazakhstani Ministry of Health period from 2019 to 2021. We collected data on the number
of cases and region of residence. Our results showed that the overall frequency of brucellosis in
Kazakhstan was relatively low, with an annual average of just over 900 cases per year.
Thehighest rates of infection were found in the eastern and southern regions of the country,
particularly in rural areas where there is a higher prevalence of livestock farming. In conclusion,
our study found that the frequency of brucellosis in Kazakhstan is relatively low but it remains a
public health concern, particularly in certain regions and among certain populations. Further
research is needed to identify the specific risk factors for brucellosis in Kazakhstan and to
develop targeted prevention and control measures.
