Sažetak
This research presents the current state of the most important bacterial zoonoses, tuberculosis, brucellosis, Q fever and leptospirosis in domestic animals in Croatia. Tuberculosis, together with brucellosis, represent the world's most widespread bacterial zoonosis, and in addition to being a public health problem they also cause large economic losses. Q fever as an endemic disease of the coastal area and leptospirosis which represents one large natural focus of almost entire continental part of Croatia are constantly present diseases in our country, causing economical and health problems. The animals had been sampled between 2017 and 2022 as part of programs run by the Croatian Ministry of Agriculture to eradicate and monitor the mentioned diseases. Disease diagnosis was carried out by serological, bacteriological and molecular methods specific to each disease. The results for each disease are shown below in Table 1. Regarding to brucellosis, we can see the successful implementation of the national program for disease control. There are still some cases of tuberculosis, mainly in fattening herds. Implementation of eradication programme for tuberculosis is in line with the new EU requirements, which now imposes additional testing and includes fattening animals, should accelerate disease eradication. Control of Q fever is necessary to prevent the uncontrolled spread of the disease to people in endemic areas. In the case of leptospirosis, we search only cattle abortions which leads to incomplete information about the prevalence.
