Research progress on epidemiological status, diagnostic challenges and prevention and control strategies of brucellosis in Inner Mongolia Region

Abstract

Abstract: Brucellosis is a major global zoonotic disease, posing a continuous threat to public health and animal husbandry. The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is the core epidemic area of brucellosis in China, with reported cases in 2023 accounting for 23.3% of the national total (16 409 cases) and an incidence rate of 68.34 per 100 000, which is 13 times the national average, indicating a severe epidemic situation. This review systematically summarizes the epidemiological status, diagnostic challenges, and strategic prospects of brucellosis in Inner Mongolia. Regarding the epidemiological status, it focuses on the high incidence rate, spatial distribution characteristics, and clinical features such as high chronicity and multiple complications. In terms of diagnostic challenges, it summarizes practical issues such as insufficient diagnostic capacity at the grassroots level, low timeliness of testing, and difficulty in confirming chronic infections. For strategic prospects, it highlights comprehensive measures implemented in Inner Mongolia in recent years, including tiered precise prevention and control, application of rapid diagnostic technologies, multi-departmental collaborative information sharing, integration of culling compensation with insurance, and coordinated diagnosis and treatment between modern and Mongolian medicine. These measures have significantly shortened the time to diagnosis and reduced the chronicity rate, forming a localized model of "early detection-precise intervention-intelligent prevention and control". Therefore, the prevention and control practices in Inner Mongolia may provide a reference for brucellosis control in other resource-limited regions of China. Some specific technical and collaborative mechanisms developed in this context may offer useful insights for transitioning similar epidemics from a high-level plateau to a stable control phase.
