Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of zoonoses by counties in the Republic of Croatia in the period from 2013 to 2019 with the treatment of diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites. The paper describes eight zoonoses that appeared in the Republic of Croatia in the period from 2013 to 2019, and the study itself was based on the processing of secondary data sources and annual reports of the Ministry of Agriculture (Veterinary and Food Safety) and the Croatian Agency for Agriculture and Food (HAPIH).
In the research period from 2013 to 2019, according to the total number of recorded cases in domestic animals, the most significant year according to the occurrence of infectious diseases was 2013. The most intensive disease according to the largest number of recorded cases (1 596) in domestic animals was campylobacteriosis, and in wild animal rabies with a total of 36 cases of infection. The most prominent county according to the sum of recorded cases in domestic animals was Osijek-Baranja County with a total of 538 recorded cases of infection, and in wild animals Zagreb County with 17. The county with the highest number of recorded cases of parasitic diseases (trichinosis) is Osijek-Baranja County with a total of 194 cases of invasion, and the least recorded cases of infectious diseases, a total of 14, were recorded in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Furthermore, this paper should point out the importance of monitoring, recording and controlling all zoonoses, according to the Order on monitoring and supression of infectious diseases of the Veterinary administration of the Ministry of Agriculture and diagnostic certificates from the Veterinary Institute on the occurrence of zoonosis in the territory of the Republic of Croatia. All of this is aimed at preventing or suppressing infectious diseases through the application of legal regulations and the implementation of prescribed preventive measures by competent veterinary institutions.
