Abstract

Brucellosis, as one of the most important common diseases between humans and animals, has always been considered in societies, especially in developing countries, from the two dimensions of human health and livestock industry; This disease is a serious bacterial infection that affects different species of mammals, especially humans, and is transmitted directly or indirectly from animals to humans or, rarely from humans to humans. The complications of this chronic infection in animals and especially in humans depend on the type of Brucella infecting species and the severity of the disease; Iran is always one of the endemic countries of brucellosis in the world. Formulation and implementation of strategic plans to monitor the livestock industry and food industry and improve the level of public health awareness and develop concepts are one of the most important mandatory guidelines to reduce the incidence of this zoonosis disease. In the present study, pathogenic species, clinical symptoms, and epidemiology of Malt fever disease have been investigated.
