Aspectos econômico-financeiros da brucelose bovina no estado de Rondônia

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze, from an economic-financial perspective, bovine brucellosis in the State of Rondônia from 2014 to 2023. Brucellosis poses significant challenges for public health and the economy at both national and state levels. Although the prevalence of bovine brucellosis in Rondônia has shown a trend of reduction over the years, challenges still remain, despite the successfully implemented vaccination and health control programs. Thus, economic-financial aspects regarding the costs of combating bovine brucellosis have been demonstrated. The comparison with the national scenario shows that Rondônia faces similar challenges to other regions of Brazil, highlighting the importance of control strategies tailored to local characteristics. To advance in the control of brucellosis, it is essential to integrate efforts in epidemiological surveillance, vaccination, and health education, with cooperation between state and federal governments and the active participation of rural producers playing a crucial role. The economic-financial benefits to society are evident when private resources are invested in actions against brucellosis, as the return is $3.00 for every $1.00 invested.
