Monitoring on human and animal brucellosis in Kazakhstan


The brief technical report for the open publication about the performance of works during September 2009


The obtained results
We have carried were carrying out the analysis of the first time diagnosed human brucellosis in the Almaty area for the 10-year period (1999-2008). It was established that an average long-term incidence index on the area for the analysed period was 25.79 per 100000 of the population, which exceeds a corresponding republican index (17.05 per 100000 of the population) in by 1.51 times. From year to year the brucellosis incidence indices among people in the Almaty kept at a stably high level exceeding similar indices in the Republic of Kazakhstan (table 1).
High incidence indices in with children, during the last 4 years exceeding similar republican ones, testify to the activity of the brucellosis epidemic process of among the people in the Almaty area were caused, first of all, by a high level of the agricultural animals' affection in the family foci of brucellosis.
It The creation of thematic databases on the human brucellosis incidence was completed in in the connection of with the Almaty area districts in 2006-2008 (figures 1, 2, 3).
As a topographical basis for the formation of geographical databases a free programme Quantum GIS, of version 0.9.1 (Ganymede) has been was chosen.
In Quantum GIS programme with the use of generated shapefiles we created an electronic map on the basis of which the analysis of territorial distribution of the human brucellosis incidence on the Almaty area for 2006-2008 was carried out (figures 4, 5, 6, respectively). It was established, that the areas with a the maximal highest level of the human brucellosis incidence (35.27 - 54.40 per 100000 of the population) were Aksu, Kerbulak and Ienbekshi-Kazakh districts and that has defined determined a the choice of the last district for the clinical material selection.
