o:145 Tracking brucellosis–a re-emerging disease en Brucellosis caused by members of the genus Brucella is of major concern for animal and public health and is recognized as a re-emerging zoonotic disease. Brucellosis causes flulike symptoms like fever, sweats, weakness, pain in muscles, joint and back, with some symptoms persisting for longer time periods. Infections occur through consumption of unpasteurized dairy products or undercooked meat, inhalation, and contact with animals. Human-to-human transmission is rare. Surveillance of this disease in animals and humans and prevention of infection risks factors are the most effective strategies to prevent brucellosis. With the progress in sequencing technologies, whole genome sequencing (WGS) has become an effective tool in surveillance, tracking of pathogens and in outbreak investigation. WGS allows identification of the source of infection and to elucidation of transmission chains, which enables authorities to implement timely and appropriate interventions. 1552099 10.1088/1755-1315/854/1/012080 2022-04-28T07:45:11.328Z 44 yes 46 Justine Schaeffer Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Division of Public Health, Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety, Vienna, Austria Sandra Revilla-Fernández Institute for Veterinary Disease Control, Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), Mödling, Austria person Ervin Hofer Institute for Veterinary Disease Control, Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), Mödling, Austria person Vesna Đorđević Institute of meat hygiene and technology person 0009-0008-5187-4089 Brankica Lakićević Instiute of meat hygiene and technology person 0000-0002-0175-5830 Alexander Indra Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Division of Public Health, Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety, Vienna, Austria person Friedrich Schmoll Institute for Veterinary Disease Control, Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), Mödling, Austria. person Franz Allerberger Institute for Veterinary Disease Control, Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), Mödling, Austria. person Werner Ruppitsch Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Division of Public Health, Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety, Vienna, Austria person application/pdf 1221079 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:145 no yes 16 70 92000004 71A01 IOP Conf.
