ABSTRACT

The strategy selected for the control of brucellosis in an individual country or region is dependent on many factors. Areas with extensive range conditions of agriculture, possibly with groups of people accompanied by their herds and flocks moving freely and with little control across national boundaries, will pose different problems than areas in which farms are well fenced, stock movement well controlled, and animal identity well recorded. International agreements, such as those in force within the European Community, may also dictate methods of brucellosis control.
