Book (series)Manual / guideStepwise Approach for the Progressive Control of Brucellosis (SAPCB)

2025Also available in:
No results found.The Stepwise Approach for the Progressive Control of Brucellosis (SAPCB) provides a One Health framework, principles and strategies for countries to control and eliminate brucellosis as an animal and public health threat and economic burden. Developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with technical contributions from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and global experts, the SAPCB utilizes FAO’s stepwise model for disease control. It offers multidisciplinary guidance for national brucellosis control and elimination programmes, focusing on controllingthe disease in livestock while building public health capacity for prevention, diagnosis and treatment. By embracing this One Health approach, countries can significantly reduce brucellosis prevalence in livestock, thereby minimizing production losses and improving public health outcomes, as human cases are closely linked to infected animals.Brucellosis is a contagious bacterial zoonotic disease that threatens health, economic security and food safety globally. Annually, it results in billions of dollars in economic losses in cattle, sheep and goats, while people infected through unpasteurized dairy or occupational exposure suffer chronic, debilitating conditions, often leading to permanent disabilities. The diseasedeeply impacts rural communities and pastoralists, whose livelihoods and nutritional needs depend heavily on livestock.The SAPCB guides users through a progressive series of steps to bolster their brucellosis prevention and control capacity, providing technical guidance that includes vaccine recommendations, laboratory standards and surveillance strategies. The SAPCB is intended to complement existing national guidance, identify gaps and offer best practices to enhance country-specific responses to brucellosis. -
