ABSTRACT
Objective:
To understand the epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in Hainan province.Methods:
Automatic microbial identification system of Vitek 2 compact was used for the preliminary identification of 16 brucellosis cases in Hainan province from 2012 to 2017, and further confirmation was performed with traditional biological typing methods. The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the patients were analyzed in combination with the results of serological and etiological tests for raised livestock.Results:
Vitek 2 compact detection results showed that 12 strains were Brucella (B.) melitensis and 4 strains were Ochrobactrum anthropi. Traditional biological typing methods showed that 11 strains were B. melitensis biovar 3 and 5 strains were B. suis biovar 3. Sixteen cases were found in Dongfang, Lingao, Haikou, Wanning, Ledong and Ding'an with 1 case in 2012, 2 cases in 2013, 4 cases in 2014, 1 case in 2015, 2 cases in 2016 and 6 cases in 2017 respectively. At the same time, 745 sheep serum samples from the epidemic area (Dongfang) were collected for Brucella serum antibody detection, in which 47 were positive (6.3%). And B. melitensis biovar 3 was isolated from samples collected from sick sheep in Dongfang.Conclusions:
Vitek 2 compact is an simple and convenient method for Brucella identification, but it cannot replace traditional biological typing methods yet. The major epidemic strains of Brucella in Hainan were B. melitensis biovar 3 and B. suis biovar 3. The epidemic of brucellosis in Dongfang in 2017 indicated that brucellosis had spread from animal to human in Hainan, and it is very important to strengthen the prevention and control of brucellosis in Hainan.Key words
