Caprine brucellosis is a bacterial zoonotic infection affecting goats especially in developing countries all over the world. In Malaysia, the risk factors associated with this infection in farms have not been studied. A case-control study was carried out in goat farms in four states of Malaysia to elucidate the risk factors associated with the infection on the farms using structured questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Results indicate that the introduction of new animals (OR = 5.25; 90 % CI = 1.46, 18.88), younger age category of farms (OR = 5.53; 90 % CI = 1.09, 21.66), and farms with single breed of goats (OR = 8.50; 90 % CI = 1.27, 41.97) were significant risk factors for brucellosis. In order to control brucellosis or possibly eradicate it in goat farms, these factors need to be dealt with. Enforcing stringent importation protocols or complete ban of goat importation from brucellosis endemic countries will help reduce risk of introducing new infection into the country.
山羊布鲁氏菌病是一种细菌性人畜共患感染病，在全世界尤其是发展中国家影响着山羊。在马来西亚，尚未对农场中与这种感染相关的风险因素进行研究。在马来西亚四个州的山羊农场开展了一项病例对照研究，通过结构化问卷和面对面访谈来阐明农场中与感染相关的风险因素。结果表明，引入新动物（比值比[OR]=5.25；90%置信区间[CI]=1.46, 18.88）、农场年龄类别较年轻（OR=5.53；90% CI=1.09, 21.66）以及养殖单一品种山羊的农场（OR=8.50；90% CI=1.27, 41.97）是布鲁氏菌病的显著风险因素。为了在山羊农场控制布鲁氏菌病或可能将其根除，需要应对这些因素。实施严格的进口协议或完全禁止从布鲁氏菌病流行国家进口山羊将有助于降低新感染传入该国的风险。
