ABSTRACT

Aims Ebola, Chikungunya, and Brucella are the most important pathogen in 21st century. In fact, definitive treatment has not yet been identified for any of these factors. Hence,the aim of this study was to analyze and measure statistical data, using Zika software for these three factors in the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia between 2010 to 2017.
Conclusion Ebola was more important in the United States and Israel, while brucella received more research in Saudi Arabia. In terms of all three factors, the number of researches was very limited before 2010, with the peak in 2013 and 2014. It can be said that the studies had relatively regular increasing trend until 2014, and, then, the trend has decreased or remained at the previous level.
