Abstract

The present work aimed to carry out a retrospective survey of the occurrence of brucellosis, tuberculosis and bovine rabies in Brazil and the state of Paraíba during the period between 2012 and 2019. To this end, data were collected officially presented on the Information and Epidemiology Coordination platform. in Animal Health, administered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock. To better visualize the extent of diseases at national and state level, a survey of the number of herds in that period was also carried out. All data obtained was tabulated on the Microsoft Excel platform to generate graphs and better representation. During the period covered by the study, 8,766 cases of rabies, 36,747 cases of brucellosis and 36,986 cases of tuberculosis were recorded in cattle. In the same period, the state of Paraíba reported 50 cases of rabies, 101 cases of brucellosis and 99 cases of tuberculosis. However, these data do not reflect the national and state reality due to underreporting of cases, the lack of frequent seroepidemiological surveys and non-compliance with health guidelines. Regarding the size of the herds, it is observed that the trend over the years is growth, with fluctuations in annual numbers.
