Brucellosis is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Brucella melitensis. The infection from Brucella melitensis is a known fact and one of the most important challenges to human health, having big economic and financial consequences, especially in countries where the disease is endemic, such as Albania. In the last 20 years the frequency of the spread of zoonozes in Albania is increasing in a considerable way, especially in the southern and south-eastern region where it is more vulnerable. The knowledge regarding the frequency of brucellosis, the time, space and age dynamics and the ways of its transmission are the purpose of this study. The exploring of the structure of the brucellosis infection enables the presentation of a more complete picture on its epidemiological prophylaxis and on the identification of the mechanisms and links that can interact to prevent and eliminate the brucellosis infection in human beings.
