Abstract

Background: To check the feasibility of using geographical information system (GIS) methods, we linked the brucellosis data of human and animals.Methods: In a village-based ecological study in Bardsir- a district in Kerman Province located nearly to the central part of IRAN - data of HUMAN BRUCELLOSIS, socio-economic level, and LIVESTOCK characteristics (2001-3) were linked by using GIS methods. Results: Annual incidence of HUMAN BRUCELLOSIS was 141.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Most of the high risk villages were seen in the north and south of Bardsir (3.6% of villages). A positive association was observed between the frequency of brucellosis and density of cattle (OR=1.81, P=0.007). In addition, the size of human population was an independent determinant factor (OR= 1.94, P<0.001). No association was found between frequency of the disease and socio-economic indicators and also the density of sheep. Conclusion: Our study showed that we could generate informative RISK MAPs of brucellosis using health and veterinary data which might improve the quality of control programme in IRAN.
