Azerbaijani scientists have researched the methods of treatment of brucellosis since 2006, Azerbaijani Agriculture Ministry State Veterinary Service Chief Ismayil Hasanov said at a press conference on Friday.
“There were a series unsuccessful experiments in the world for treatment of brucellosis, but the bioactive substance discovered by the Azerbaijani scientists will put an end to concerns over this disease. It has no precedent in the world”.
Hasanov said the bioactive substance received patent in 2008 and then was proposed for implementation in the regions.
100-percent successful results were achieved during the treatment of animals in the farms in Khacmaz, Ganja, Goranboy, Astara, Imishli regions of the country, as well as Mashtaga and Ramana villages of Baku.
The animals recovered in five days after two-day treatment.
He said it would prevent brucellosis among the population as well.
“More than 20 percent of animals and nearly 8,000 people suffered from this disease in Azerbaijan in 2001. Now disease cases among the people were reduced 50 percent. The cases among the animals reduced 0.4-0.8 percent”.
"New injection will not cost much. The injection of large-horned animals will cost 20 AZN and small-horned – 12 AZN.
