Objective: To keep abreast of the latest prevalence, distribution and hot spot changes of human brucellosis in the world. Methods: Officially provided national reports were used as the first hand while the epidemiological data from the World Organization for Animal Health were the second data, regarding the human brucellosis. The annual incidence of each country was calculated by data extraction and transformation and the global distribution of human brucellosis was described. Results: The high incidence rates of brucellosis were seen in countries as Kenya (203.07 cases per 100 000), Yemen (89.96), Syria (47.26), Greece (42.96) and Eritrea (21.82). Compared with"The new global map of human brucellosis"written by Georgios Pappas, et al. in 2006, the situation of brucellosis in many epidemic areas has improved. However, new hot spots of this disease continue to appear, especially in Africa and the Middle East countries with incidence of the disease fluctuating. Conclusion: In the past ten years, the global incidence and distribution of brucellosis have changed greatly, in many countries.
目的： 掌握全球人布鲁氏菌病（布病）流行特征，重点描述全球分布及热点变化。 方法： 以查找官方公布的国家报告为第一标准数据、世界动物卫生组织信息系统平台的OIE-FAO-WHO年度报告中的人布病资料为第二标准数据，通过数据提取与转换，计算各国年度发病率，描述全球人布病流行分布概况。 结果： 人布病发病率较高的国家是肯尼亚（203.07/10万）、也门（89.96/10万）、叙利亚（47.26/10万）、希腊（42.96/10万）和厄立特里亚（21.82/10万）。较2006年Georgios Pappas等发表的全球人布病分布的数据有了显著的变化，许多流行区的布病流行状况已有所改善。另一方面，疾病新热点也不断出现，特别在非洲地区和中东地区，布病疫情呈现起伏。 结论： 近十年来，人布病的全球流行分布发生了急剧的变化，各国之间的发病率差别很大，总体呈下降趋势。.
