Summary

Brucellosis is a worldwide re-emerging zoonotic disease. It remains a serious public health problem in many developing countries including China. This review summarizes the epidemiological characteristics, morbidity, and endemic distributions of human brucellosis in the People's Republic of China for the period 2005-2010. From 2005 to 2010, the incidence of human brucellosis rose substantially in China, especially in the provinces of Inner Mongolia, Shanxi3, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Jilin, and Shanxi1. Meanwhile human brucellosis increased gradually in some southern provinces, such as Henan, Guangdong, and Fujian. Due to the rapid expansion of human brucellosis in China, surveillance and prevention of this disease has been greatly challenged.
