Brucellosis is a disease of nearly all domestic mammals and man. It is caused by members of the genus Brucella and is highly contagious. Therefore, a substantial effort has gone into control and eradication. A number of regions are free from this disease but the majority are not, including the Americas. Major gains were made by the widespread use of vaccine in the early stages of control campaigns. However, the use of vaccine until a few years ago caused considerable diagnostic problems because of cross reactivity. This problem was solved in two ways: by the recent development of a non-interfering vaccine and the development of serological tests that distinguish vaccinal and other cross reacting antibody from that induced by pathogenic Brucella. With these tools, it becomes possible to decrease the susceptible population of animals without needless economic loss. The future focus should be on national and international control of animal movement, and an incentive program such as indemnification to encourage owners to eliminate the disease and a global effort towards the standardization of test procedures, including standardized reagents and methods, training and accreditation and continuous quality control
