Brucellosis in Libya: Past and Present Challenges

Brucellosis remains endemic in Libya, with regional variations driven by agricultural practices, population movements, and socio-political and environmental factors. As a livestock trade hub, Libya faces challenges from uncontrolled animal movement but also opportunities for regional leadership in disease control. Sustained efforts to strengthen public health and veterinary systems, coupled with molecular surveillance and a One Health approach combining data and interventions, are vital for achieving sustainable control in Libya and North Africa.
