Sumario:Outline: * A short history of the Brucellosis problems in the coastal marshes of southwest Louisiana. * A summary of results of the field studies on the control of brucellosis in the marsh herds. * The U.S. Brucellosis Program in the mid 1970s: A program in turmoil. * Questions for Argentina's animal health officials, beef and dairy producers and veterinarians. * Scientific factors and a disease control program: prevalence, reservoirs and transmission. A very long incubation period makes the control of brucellosis difficult. * Which cows are susceptible? Which are resistant?. * Surveillance: who looks, where do you look, and how will you look for the disease? * A practical plan for brucellosis control.
