This paper describes an investigation of an outbreak of bovine brucellosis in County Clare, Ireland, during 2005. It is likely that infection on the index farm was linked to a previous outbreak of brucellosis in County Clare. During March to May 2005, transmission of brucellosis within the herd was rapid; this was facilitated by a range of factors, including close contact between cattle kept in winter housing, and the mixing of animals, both during grazing and at housing, throughout the year. Containment of the disease, including only limited spread to one contiguous herd, was facilitated by the recent construction of a shed for winter housing.
本文描述了 2005 年爱尔兰克莱尔县暴发牛布鲁氏菌病的一项调查。该疫区的感染很可能与克莱尔县先前的布鲁氏菌病暴发有关。2005 年 3 月至 5 月期间，牛群内部的布鲁氏菌病传播迅速；这是由于一系列因素促成的，包括冬季畜舍中饲养的牛只之间的密切接触，以及全年放牧和畜舍中动物的混合。由于最近建造了一个冬季畜舍，该疾病得到了控制，包括仅有限地传播到一个毗邻的牛群。
