Resumen
ARENAS, Nelson E et al. Interactive web-based tool for evaluating the spread of bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis in Colombia. Rev Colom Cienc Pecua [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.3, pp.224-230. Epub 07-Oct-2022. ISSN 0120-0690. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rccp.v34n3a04.
Background:
Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) and brucellosis are associated with devastating losses in the livestock sector in Colombia and even in developed countries. Real-time disease surveillance is a key strategy to control and eradicate infectious disease outbreaks.
Objective:
To design an epidemiological tool for monitoring BTB and brucellosis in Colombia.
Methods:
An interactive platform for disease mapping of BTB and brucellosis during an observation period between years 2004 and 2019 was designed.
Results:
Our analysis showed that the provinces of Cundinamarca and Valle del Cauca are regions affected by BTB and brucellosis epidemics, respectively (p<0.001). Furthermore, increased case detection of BTB was reported in 2012 and brucellosis in 2019 (p<0.001).
Conclusions:
This epidemiological platform allows tracking BTB and tuberculosis hotspots, identifying trends over time, and provides useful information to animal health authorities for designing new strategies in control programs.
