چکیده
INTRODUCTION In previous articles the distribution and diversity of Brucella sp infections has been covered. In addition the evasive mechanisms used by Brucella spp in avoiding the innate and acquired immune systems has been discussed in detail. This article will cover diagnostic tests and recent work on Brucella testing and the possible implications in strategies for diagnosis and control. The objective is to give the general veterinary practitioner some insight into this complicated subject.

Current Methods of Human and Animal Brucellosis Diagnostics
Brucellosis is an urgent infectious disease of livestock and wild animals and the commonest human zoonosis. Diagnosis of brucellosis is rather complicated and it has to be obligatorily confirmed by laboratory testing. Direct bacteriological and molecular methods and indirect serological tests are used for brucellosis diagnostics. The choice of the diagnostic tools depends on the overall epidemi...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Five Clinical Strains of Brucella melitensis Isolated from Patients Residing in Kuwait
Human brucellosis is a neglected and underrecognized infection of widespread geographic distribution. Brucellosis is present on all inhabited continents and endemic in many areas of the world, including Kuwait and the Middle East. Here, we present draft genome assemblies of five Brucella melitensis strains isolated from brucellosis patients in Kuwait.
متن کاملThe Russian experience in brucellosis veterinary public health.
Russia has extensive experience in controlling brucellosis in large and small animals, based on systematic animal health and disease control measures, combined with the use of specific prophylaxis. Widespread application of the live brucellosis vaccine Brucella abortus strain 82 has led to a dramatic reduction in the prevalence of brucellosis. Among the distinctive properties of this vaccine ar...
متن کاملAntigen-Specific Acquired Immunity in Human Brucellosis: Implications for Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Vaccine Development
Brucella spp., are Gram negative bacteria that cause disease by growing within monocyte/macrophage lineage cells. Clinical manifestations of brucellosis are immune mediated, not due to bacterial virulence factors. Acquired immunity to brucellosis has been studied through observations of naturally infected hosts (cattle, goats), mouse models (mice), and human infection. Even though Brucella spp....
متن کاملSerological, bacteriological, and molecular diagnosis of brucellosis in domestic animals in Croatia.
AIM To present the surveillance data on Brucella melitensis, B. suis, and B. ovis infection in cattle, sheep, goats, and swine in Croatia obtained in 2008 by serological, bacteriological, and molecular methods for diagnostics of brucellosis in domestic animals. METHODS We serologically tested 42,785 cattle serums, 22,686 sheep and goat serums, and 28520 swine serums using the Rose Bengal test...
