Compared with the positive rate of 2015, the positive rates in 2014 and 2016 had significant differences (X2 values were 6.99 and 67.10 respectively, both P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the positive rate between year 2014 and 2016 (X2=0.82, P>0.05). There was no significant difference between Han nationality and Kazak nationality in the positive rate. Among the age groups, the positive rate was the highest in the 21-30 years group (27.40%) and lowest in the 71-80 years group (5.45%), and there was a significant difference avmong the age groups (X2=55.67, P<0.01). In the persons with Brucella infection, the specific antibody positive rate of the male was 27.76% and the positive rate of the female was 10.71%, and there was a significant difference between them (X2=102.72, P<0.01). As the occupational distribution, the infection rate of herdsmen was the highest (45.39%), followed by farmers (26.74%). As the regional distribution, Boertong ancient pasture of Shawan County had the highest infection proportion (34.61%), followed by Kuitun urban area (13.48%).
