Resumo
Among the diseases relevant to public health, brucellosis stands out for being a
zoonosis with worldwide distribution, causing economic losses, in addition to being
an infectious disease with a chronic evolution. Lesions suggestive of zoonotic
diseases identified in cattle carcasses during the slaughter process make it possible
to carry out distribution epidemiological studies of infected animals, in addition to
reducing the probability of human exposure and the possible risks of consuming
contaminated meat. Thus, a survey was carried out of suggestive lesions detection
for brucellosis during the post-mortem examination, based on the macroscopic
examination of the entire carcass and viscera, during the sanitary inspection, which
could characterize the disease existence. During the study period (2012 to 2022),
24,721,134 cattle were slaughtered, and 402 presented macroscopic lesions
suggestive of brucellosis on the carcasses. On the other hand, in 1,323,839 animals
sampled, 98 were positive through laboratory examination carried out by private
veterinarians and the Service of Federal Inspection. These results generated an
economic loss of approximately U$ 250,155.44. However, the occurrence of positive
animals and properties with infected animals decreased during the period from 2003
to 2022, associated with the increase in the number of bovine females vaccinated
against brucellosis. The study of bovine brucellosis occurrence in the State of
Rondônia revealed the effectiveness of preventive health education actions and
corrective actions determined by Agrosilvopastoril Defense Agency of the State of
Rondônia - IDARON in the period from 2003 to 2022. Therefore, the number of
positive animals and properties with infected animals significantly decreased, due to
the increased level of awareness among producers and the number of vaccines
administered to female cattle. It also complies with One Health protocols and policies,
as in addition to improving the health of the cattle herd, these actions are protective
of human beings who work directly with these animals, as well as consumers of
animal products from cattle farming. This fact resulted in a decrease in the
occurrence of human brucellosis in the state of Rondônia between 2015 and 2022.
