AB  - In this study, regional distribution of bovine tuberculosis disease in 
Turkey over a period of 10 years was investigated using Office 
International des Epizooties data. The number of outbreaks of the 
geographical regions put together in Microsoft Excel programme. 
Descriptive statistics and Correlation analysis was used in the study. 
Six disease-specific evaluation criteria were determined to explain the 
disease factors. In Turkey, the number of outbreaks (r=0.693; 
p=0.000<0.01) was found to be significant. But the relationship of 
the number of outbreaks of the disease with the number of animals per 
km2 (animal density) was found to be (-.016) insignificant (P>0.05). 
The rusults of present study to demostrate that epidemiologic data 
analysis was first implemented to disease management programme. Thus if 
the risk area determined, cost of controlling of the disease programme 
will be reduced and effective contol programme must be implemented to 
the high risk area.  This study recomended that the disease outbreaks 
management will be planned firstly high risk areas with a risk based 
disease managemnet plan.  This approch will be decreased the disease 
outbreaks and the public cost of the disease will be reduced in near 
future.
