The symposium “Brucellosis in Croatia and neighbouring countries”, jointly organised by the Committee for Animal and Comparative Pathology, Department of Medical Sciences of the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts and the Croatian Veterinary Institute, was held at the palace of the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts on Wednesday, 25 September 2013. The symposium was opened by Academic Marko Pećina, Secretary of the Department of Medical Sciences of CASA. This was followed by lectures given by the leading experts for the diagnosis of brucellosis, from Croatia and the countries of the region.
Brucellosis is one of the most widespread zoonoses, a disease that is transmitted from animals to humans. The spread of brucellosis in the European Union and the dangers its occurrence brings were discussed at the symposium, as well as the situation in other European countries. Efficient controls of the spread of brucellosis in recent decades have countered for the lack of epidemiological research in the countries of Southeast Europe. However, progress has been made in the processing of isolates of different species of the genus Brucella using the most modern molecular techniques, and as such more than 50 new genotypes have been entered into the international brucellosis database. This research should contribute to the global efforts to control and eradicate brucellosis, particularly if such research is carried out on a wider, regional basis. |
