Human and Animal Brucellosis in Yemen

The aims of this review were to characterize human and animals brucellosis epidemiology in Yemen and also guide policy makers to draw sound decisions regarding brucellosis control policies. The Seroprevalence of human brucellosis in Yemen was ranging from 0.3 to 32.3%. Nevertheless, it is suggested that a stronger inter-sectoral collaboration among pregnant women, veterinary, medical and public health professionals and country level in terms of one-health approach should be promoted. In spite of this disease is reported in humans and all domestic animals of the country, Yemeni people lack awareness about the zoonotic potential of the disease with their existing habit of raw milk consumption and close contact with domestic animals.
