Abstract	Brucellosis features among the zoonoses responsible for greatest socioeconomic losses in the Brazilian cattle farming. Considered an anthropozoonosis, its etiological agents are bacteria of the Brucella spp genus. Such bacteria have the potential to infect several mammals, with records of brucellosis even in cetaceans (whales and dolphins). In cattle, it is mainly transmitted through bacterial discharges present in the remains of materials coming from abortions tested positive for brucellosis. Nevertheless, it can also be transmitted by milk, copulation, blood transfusions, fomites, soil and even water. Cows continue releasing the bacteria for about 30 days after calving or abortion. Direct or indirect tests as recommended by the National Program for the Control and Eradication of Brucellosis and Animal Tuberculosis (PNCEBT) can be used for diagnosis. The objective of this study was to assess the epidemiological profile of bovine brucellosis in the northwestern region of the State of Paraná from 2014 to 2016. Between 2014 and 2016, data from examinations performed by a veterinarian duly registered and qualified to perform the diagnosis were used. A total of 12,640 animals in the northwest region of the state of Paraná were tested, both male and female, using the acidified buffered antigen (ABA). A total of 26 animals tested positive for brucellosis, which corresponds to 0.2% of the studied herd. Despite the low rates of animals infected with Brucella spp. presented in this study, the control and possible eradication of brucellosis is essential due to its easy transmission and extensive economic losses mainly caused by abortions occurring during the last quarters of pregnancies.
