Abstract
Brucellosis is a particularly dangerous zoonotic disease that is widespread in animals and humans. Despite the fact that more than 120 years have passed since the discovery of the pathogen and the disease has been well studied by domestic and foreign researchers, the problem of brucellosis remains relevant in many countries of the world. A number of economically developed countries have achieved some success in controlling bovine brucellosis caused by Brucella abortus. Results for control of brucellosis in small ruminants caused by Brucella melitensis are more modest. In some developing countries, the epizootic situation for bovine brucellosis is worsening. Brucellosis caused by B. melitensis is also a major public health problem. 
 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 500 000 cases of newly diagnosed brucellosis are reported each year in more than 170 countries, more than half of them in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. In brucellosis-prone regions, the actual incidence can be 10 to 25 times higher than officially reported. In brucellosis-endemic areas, where brucellosis is a deep-rooted problem, the infection has global, far-reaching negative consequences for the health and economy of states. The main objective of the studies was to monitor the epizootological situation of animal brucellosis in the Republic of Kazakhstan (RK).
