Buenos Aires, December 10 (NA) – The National Service of Health and Agri-food Quality (SENASA) has expanded the scope of the voluntary strategic vaccination program against bovine brucellosis, which was previously limited to establishments registered as "positive cases" of the disease. Resolution 936/2025, signed by the agency's president María Beatriz Giraudo Gaviglio, allows establishments with any status determined by SENASA – whether "case", "negative", or "free" – to join the vaccination program with RB51 and DELTAPGM strains. According to the Argentine News Agency, the expansion is in response to a demand from agricultural producers who requested the ability to apply these vaccines preventatively on farms adjacent to those affected by brucellosis. Bovine brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that causes abortions and reproductive problems in livestock, and can also be transmitted to humans, where it leads to a decrease in work capacity and affects quality of life. IP The regulation will come into effect 60 days after its publication and is part of the National Plan for the Control and Eradication of Bovine Brucellosis.
