description Brucellosis is a disease with implications in the public health due both to its zoonotic character as its easy transmission trough of dairy products contaminated with the microorganism Brucella sp.  The aim of this article was determinate the prevalence of bovine brucellosis in nine municipalities that carrying the 75% of bovine population in the Caquetá state, Colombia. Blood samples were collected in 100 herds dedicates to dual-purpose cattle, obtained blood serum from 1000 animals, of which 882 corresponding to cows. Rose Bengal Plate Test was performed and the confirmations of positive cases were made by competitive Elisa. The sero-prevalence of bovine brucellosis in Caquetá state was of 3.23% (95%, CI: 0-6.53%), in males 2.6% and females 3.29% respectively. At the municipal level, the sero-prevalence varied of 0 to 6.06%. The prevalence of brucellosis at herd level was of 22% (95%, CI: 12.24-31.76%). In conclusion, the sero-prevalence is low in bovines but moderate at the level of herds, therefore, it is necessary to increase the performance of the official control entities at the level of herds to reduce the high prevalence of the disease for guaranteed the safety of milk and thus the health of consumers.

La brucelosis es una enfermedad con implicaciones en la salud pública tanto por su carácter zoonótico como su fácil transmisión a través de lácteos contaminados con el microorganismo Brucella sp. El objetivo del presente artículo fue determinar la prevalencia de brucelosis bovina en nueve municipios que contienen el 75% de la población bovina en el departamento del Caquetá, Colombia. Fueron colectadas muestras de sangre en 100 predios ganaderos dedicados al sistema de doble propósito, obteniendo suero sanguíneo de 1000 animales, de los cuáles 882 correspondieron a vacas. Se realizó la prueba Rosa de Bengala y confirmación de los casos positivos mediante Elisa Competitiva. Se obtuvo una seroprevalencia general de 3,23% (95%, IC: 0-6,73%), en el departamento del Caquetá, 2,6% en machos y de 3,29% en hembras respectivamente. A nivel municipal la seroprevalencia varió desde el 0% hasta el 6,06%. La prevalencia de brucelosis a nivel de predios fue del 22% (95%, IC: 12,24-31,76%). En conclusión, existe una seroprevalancia baja en animales, pero moderada en hatos, por tanto, se hace necesario una mayor actuación de las entidades de control oficial a nivel de las fincas para reducir la alta prevalencia de la enfermedad para garantizar la inocuidad de la leche y por tanto de la sanidad de los consumidores.
