Abstract

Brucellosis is considered a major public health problem worldwide. For controlling brucellosis and other diseases, the epidemiological surveillance is of great importance. As the analysis of international experience shows, one of the prerequisites for organizing effective control is the epidemiological mapping. The purpose of the study is to conduct epidemiological mapping based on the assessment of the incidence of brucellosis. The incidence of brucellosis during 2004-2019 in all regions underwent a centile distribution on the basis of which four groups of epidemiological risk were identified: high, above average, below average and low. The mapping period were divided into two parts: 2004-2014 and 2016-2019, as there are no data for 2015 by regions. From the analysis of the data obtained, it becomes clear that from an epidemiological point of view, the regions of Vayots Dzor, Aragatsotn, Shirak and Ararat are considered of the highest risk. Mapping of territories based on the assessment of the epidemiological risks of first registered cases of brucellosis is very important to improve the effectiveness of activities carried out within the framework of epidemiological surveillance.
