Objective: Brucellosis is a serious zoonotic infection worldwide. To date, vaccination the most effective measure against brucellosis. This study was aimed at obtaining vaccine strain that has high protective efficacy and low toxicity, allows to be differentiated from infection. Methods: Using homologous recombination, we constructed double gene-deletion Brucella MB6 ?bp26?wboA (RM6) evaluated ...

B rucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella spp. and is still a serious problem of public health for some regions around the world such as the Mediterranean Sea, Middle East, Latin America, and Asia (1). These pathogenic bacteria can infect humans as well as sheep, goats, etc. B. melitensis (sheep and goats) is the most important causative agent for human brucellosis and is followed b...

AIM To analyse and present the epidemiological and epizootological situation of brucellosis in humans, sheep and goats caused by Brucella melitensis. METHODS The veterinary health services analyzsd epidemiological reports, as well as other official documents, in relation to the epidemiology and the measures undertaken for control of brucellosis in Bulgaria, 2005-08.

Four simple and rapid field tests for the serodiagnosis of brucellosis in cattle, goat, sheep and swine were developed. The performance of the assays was investigated using serum samples collected in Portugal from animals originating from herds with a defined sanitary status with respect to the presence of brucellosis. The sensitivity calculated for the bovine, caprine, ovine and swine Brucella...

Animal and human health is inextricably linked. People depend on animals for nutrition, socio-economic development and companionship. A cross-sectional serological study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of three related zoonotic diseases namely Brucellosis, Q-fever and Leptospirosis in cattle, sheep, goats and humans in three sub counties of Kajiado County. In addition the risk f...

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease primarily affecting animals and accidentally exposed humans. In Eritrea, brucellosis endemicity proven by several sero-prevalence studies in domestic occupationally However, there gap of information on the commonly occurring brucella species cause human/animal brucellosis. The objective this study to identify sheep goats which possibly pose risk human Out total...

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...

AIM The aim was to study the seroprevalence and efficacy of the different serological tests used for detection of antibody against Brucella species in small ruminants of Banaskantha district of North-Gujarat. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total 1000 serum samples comprising of 485 from sheep and 515 from goat tested for detection of antibodies against the Brucella species by three different serologic...

This study aimed to determine whether variations in the incidence of reported cases of human brucellosis in Ecuador were clustered in space and time. In addition, the effects of cattle and small ruminant population density and other socio-economic factors on the incidence were investigated. Significant space-time clusters were found in the northern and southern highlands and parts of Ecuadorian...
