Brucellosis is one of the most important zoonotic diseases in China. Goat milk and dairy products are essential pathways for foodborne transmission of brucellosis. Pasteurization can completely kill spp in milk, and milk-borne transmission is mainly related to unhealthy dietary hygiene habits and insufficient epidemic control among animals. This epidemic is the first outbreak of brucellosis in Zhangping City, Fujian Province. A total of 6 confirmed cases were found, and the onset time was from April to June 2019. The investigation suggested that the transmission chain of the epidemic included a private butcher, an infected goat from the north, a dairy farmer, close contact spread, unsterilized goat milk, and consumers drinking raw goat milk. For the non-endemic area of brucellosis, preventing the import of infected animals and enhancing the practitioner's and the public's awareness of disease prevention has important public health significance. It is necessary to strengthen the transregional quarantine of livestock, the food safety inspection and management, and the practitioners' and public's awareness of food safety.
布鲁氏菌病是中国最重要的人畜共患病之一。山羊奶及奶制品是布鲁氏菌病食源性传播的重要途径。巴氏杀菌法可完全杀灭牛奶中的布鲁氏菌，经牛奶传播主要与不良饮食卫生习惯及动物疫病防控不力有关。此次疫情是福建省漳平市首次发生布鲁氏菌病疫情。共发现6例确诊病例，发病时间为2019年4月至6月。调查显示，此次疫情的传播链包括一名私宰肉贩、一只来自北方的感染山羊、一名奶农、密切接触传播、未消毒的山羊奶以及饮用生山羊奶的消费者。对于布鲁氏菌病非疫区而言，防止感染动物输入并提高从业者和公众的疾病预防意识具有重要的公共卫生意义。有必要加强畜禽跨区域检疫、食品安全检查管理以及从业者和公众的食品安全意识。
