Abstract

Brucellosis is a bacterial zoonosis caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella spp. It is cosmopolitan and rages around the Mediterranean, particularly in Algeria where it continues to wreak havoc on livestock. We report here a review on brucellosis in Algeria, where human brucellosis was already discovered in 1895 and since then it remains a major concern of health services. There is a disparity in human cases depending on the region, in fact, the most affected region is the steppe region which alone has the average incidence (cases/100,000 inhabitants) of 65.87% followed by 9.89 in North- Is according to the Ministry of Health. The prevalence of bovine brucellosis fell from 5% to 0.76% respectively in the mid-1990s and in 2014 with a delicate improvement which, after seven years of the identification and screening program as well as vaccination with the REV vaccine -1 set up by the Ministry of Health, remains unable to eradicate the disease. It should also be noted that the evolution of the number of new human cases reported is like that observed in goats, which constitute the most important reservoir of infection for humans in Algeria.
