Abstract
Objective. To identify leading risk factors for brucellosis transmission among the population of the Republic of Tajikistan because until the present there has been no scientifically grounded evidence for this problem. Materials and methods. The investigation was performed through a case-control study at infectious diseases hospitals. Results. Assisting animals during abortion (OR = 14.2) and delivery (OR = 6.4) was found to be a dominating risk factorfor Brucella infection. Its risk factors are the consumption of raw milk (OR = 2.6), undercooked meat and meat products (OR = 2.8) and the cleaning of a stall (OR = 2.3). Stock-keeping in private farms (OR = 1.7) and dung brick fuel preparation (OR = 1.86) may be a risk factor for Brucella infection. Conclusion. It may be concluded with a high degree of probability that in the Republic of Tajikistan brucellosis is transmitted in a mixed way (by a contact or foodborne route), the contact route of transmission being prevalent.
