Abstract: Objective To analyze epidemic distribution of brucellosis in the city of Baoding from 2007 to 2012. Methods The epidemic data of brucellosis in Baoding from 2007 to 2012 were analyzed epidemiologically, according to Disease Surveillance Information Reporting System. Results Human brucellosis was distributed in 24 counties out of 25 of the whole city. And the incidence was 1.36 to 2.38 hundred thousandth. From 3-month-olds to 83-year-olds, the patients were mostly the young and adults. The ratio of male and female patients was 2.59: 1. Brucellosis cases, which occurred more frequently from April to August, were apparently seasonal. Occupationally, stock breeding farm workers, butchers and fur processors were at high risk of infection. Conclusion The incidence of human brucellosis in the city of Baoding has been high since 2007. Public awareness had improved, since surveillance and health intervention has been continuously carried out by health department. Meanwhile, the separation of knowledge and behavior still exists. Eliminating animal brucellosis is the primary strategy, and multi-sector, inter-regional joint prevention and control by health, animal and other departments are actually the fundamental policies of human brucellosis control.
