Abstract
Veterinarians are subjected to infection with many occupational
zoonoses. Some of them bacterial. viral, mycotic, rickettsial and parasitic
diseases ~ all example of occupational bacterioses: brucellosis,
tuberculosis, staphylococcosis, listeriosis, leptospirosis, tularemia,
glanders, anthrax and human erysipeloid.
Occupational zoonoses affecting veterinarians differ according to
the kind of occupation. i.e, veterinarians in dairy farms are more affected
with brucellosis, tuberculosis, staphylococcosis, ... etc, While those in
poultry farms are liable to be infected with avian tuberculosis, new castle,
asperlgellosls and psittacosis while in abattoirs, brucellosis, lupus,
staphylococeosis and Q. fever are met with.
In fisheries, Human erysipeloid is marked, while those wo ked in
veterinary clinics infection with brucellosis, tuberculosis, staphylo-
COCCQSIS, orf and foot and mouth disease are common.
Brucellosis is still the most impo aoroccupatlonal disease of
veterinarians and those involved in farm animal production, causing
a sever problem in the Mediterranean and middle east counlries. Brucella
infection causes major economic losses in live stock and serious impact
on public health.
As well as tuberculosis has a draw back on animal production and
public health, the disease continues to be a major cause of morbidity and
mortality through out the world. One billion people are infected with
tubercle bacillus, and there are 8 million new cases and 3 million deaths
annually (Rand, 1997).
