Overview
Common risk factors in the development of brucellosis include: consuming unpasteurized dairy products or raw meat products, unsafe hunting practices, and occupational exposure.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of Brucellosis include:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Living or travelling to Brucellosis endemic countries
- Occupational exposure
- Consumption of unpasteurized dairy products or raw meat products
- Hunting
| Risk factors/risk of exposure in the development of Brucellosis (Center of disease control and prevention) | |
|---|---|
| Countries at Risk | Although Brucellosis can be found worldwide, it is more common in countries that do not have effective public health and domestic animal health programs. Areas currently listed as high risk are:
|
| Occupational Risks | Individuals in certain occupations or settings may face increased exposure to the bacteria that cause Brucellosis. These include:
|
| Unpasteurized Dairy Products and raw meat products |
|
| Hunters | |
| Risks for Expecting Mothers |
