[Study on the characteristics of brucellosis on the Baicaopo Pasture]

To study the current situation and characteristics of brucellosis on Baicaopo Pasture, a sero-epidemiological survey was conducted among local people, animals together with nearby county livestocks from Breed-improvement Stations, Bingdi township and Rekejue township which are far away from the pasture. The results showed that the infection rates of brucellosis in humans and yaks on the Baieaopo Pasture were 31.03% and 47.19% respectively, apparent higher than those in other places. There were more infected cases among local veterinarians and herdsmen than among other jobs. Young adults seemed to be at most risk.
