目的：布鲁氏菌病是一种重要的细菌性人兽共患传染病，在世界许多地区造成动物和人类的严重危害。在尼日利亚阿南布拉州进行了一项禽类布鲁氏菌感染的血清流行病学研究，以确定疾病流行率、危险因素，从而确定鸡在布鲁氏菌病流行病学中的作用。材料与方法：采用虎红平板试验对410份鸡血清进行布鲁氏菌抗体检测。访谈时间表被用来获取信息的社会经济地位，布鲁氏菌病的认识和易感性的做法，家禽养殖户，活禽销售商，家禽屠体加工在研究领域。结果：记录的总体血清阳性率为3%。性别（女性），自由放养的管理系统，品种（本地品种），和混合养殖的禽布鲁氏菌病的决定因素在国家。在动物-人接触面可能增加人类布鲁氏菌感染的风险因素是不使用个人防护服;对布鲁氏菌病和疾病传播或控制方法的认识不足，与动物同居，以及在值班时进食。结论：鸡可能是阿南布拉州布鲁氏菌感染的宿主。有一个迫切需要有效的控制计划，对布鲁氏菌病的研究领域，使用协调的一个健康的方法铭记布鲁氏菌病的公共卫生和经济后果。
Aim: Brucellosis is an important bacterial zoonosis devastating both animal and human populations in many parts of the world. A seroepidemiological study of avian Brucella infection was conducted to determine the disease prevalence, risk factors, and hence the role of chicken in the epidemiology of brucellosis in Anambra State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: Rose Bengal plate test was used to test for Brucella antibody in sera samples collected from 410 chickens surveyed. The interview schedule was used to elicit information on the socioeconomic status, awareness of brucellosis and predisposing practices of poultry farmers, live bird sellers, and poultry carcass processors in the study area. Results: An overall seroprevalence of 3% was recorded. Sex (female), free-range management system, breed (indigenous breed), and mix farming were the determinants of avian brucellosis in the state. Risk factors that may enhance human Brucella infection at the animal-human interface are non-use of personal protective clothing; poor awareness on brucellosis and methods of the disease spread or control, cohabitation with animals, and eating while on duty. Conclusion: Chicken may be among the reservoirs of Brucella infection in Anambra State. There is an urgent need for an effective control program against brucellosis in the study area, using a coordinated One Health approach bearing in mind the public health and economic consequences of brucellosis.
