“…The people who are prone to zoonoses include herders, veterinarians, foresters, and farmers. The zoonoses with a very significant health impact in the world include rabies, avian influenza, leishmaniasis, brucellosis, and bovine tuberculosis (TB) [ 3 ]. Bovine TB is a major zoonosis with the risk of interspecies contamination.…”

Background and Aim: Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic disease of major public health importance, particularly in African countries, where control measures are limited or largely not applied. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of the currently used bovine TB diagnostic method at slaughterhouses in Benin; this is to contribute to the betterment and improvement in the epidemiological surveillance of the disease in the country. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 tissue samples were collected from meat/viscera (lung, liver, heart, kidney, and the gastro-intestinal tract tissues) at Cotonou slaughterhouses from ruminants suspected to be infected with bovine TB during routine meat inspection. The collected samples were analyzed using GeneXpert testing technique as a reference method. Results: Twenty-six samples tested positive out of the 40 suspected tissue samples collected by GeneXpert diagnostic technique; this shows the limitation of the routine meat inspection in detecting bovine TB as currently performed in Benin. Conclusion: The outcome of the use of the molecular technique, therefore, supports the importance of the use of a molecular tool alongside the routine meat inspection for a better understanding of the epidemiology of bovine TB in Benin. However, more robust technical and policy efforts are needed for a sustainable implementation of such a strategy.

“…Also called Malta fever or undulating fever, brucellosis is due to Brucella, a Gram negative aerobic and asporous coccobacillus bacterium with an intracellular development, its declaration is obligatory within humans and animals [1]. In epidemiology, it is an anthropozoonosis that rages in the Mediterranean region in a way that makes past oral areas in Algeria experiencing real epidemics.…”

Brucellosis is an anthropozoonosis caused by a bacterium of the genus brucella. The aim of this study was to study the seroprevalence of brucellosis in high risk individuals. The Wright technique was used (Reagent: Brucella abortus, Antigen: Somatic, Reference: 1205091). Our study focused on the population of the southern region of Sidi-Bel-Abbès and showing clinical signs of brucellosis between February 2010 and June 2012 and whose "Wright" test was positive. 111 cases of human brucellosis have been identified; 59.45% male against 40.54% female. 50.45% reported no contact with animals, however contact with goats, cattle and sheep was 13.51%, 6.30% and 0.90%, respectively. Regarding the consumption of raw milk it was of the order of 53.15% against 17.11% for curd and 0.90% for under cooked meat. The 30-40 age group was the most common. The results on the follow-up of a previous treatment indicate that 2.70% followed a previous treatment against 97.29% that they had no treatment to follow. Brucellosis is an infection that is evolving in our region (Sidi-Bel-Abbès) it requires more monitoring.
