Brucella ceti and Brucella pinnipedialis genome characterization unveils genetic features that highlight their zoonotic potential [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen, 2022
The Gram‐negative bacteria Brucella ceti and Brucella pinnipedialis circulate in marine environments primarily infecting marine mammals, where they cause an often‐fatal disease named brucellosis.

Occurrence of Brucella ceti in striped dolphins from Italian Seas [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Brucella ceti infections have been increasingly reported in cetaceans, although a very limited characterization of Mediterranean Brucella spp. isolates has been previously reported and relatively few data exist about brucellosis among cetaceans in Italy.

Brucella ceti and Brucellosis in Cetaceans [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
Since the first case of brucellosis detected in a dolphin aborted fetus, an increasing number of Brucella ceti isolates has been reported in members of the two suborders of cetaceans: Mysticeti and Odontoceti. Serological surveys have shown that cetacean

Combination of in silico and molecular techniques for discrimination and virulence characterization of marine Brucella ceti and Brucella pinnipedialis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionMammals are the main hosts for Brucella sp., agents of worldwide zoonosis. Marine cetaceans and pinnipeds can be infected by Brucella ceti and B. pinnipedialis, respectively. Besides classical bacteriological typing, molecular approaches such

Cellular Prion Protein Expression in the Brain Tissue from Brucella ceti-Infected Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Brucella ceti, a zoonotic pathogen of major concern to cetacean health and conservation, is responsible for severe meningo-encephalitic/myelitic lesions in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), often leading to their stranding and death.

Brucella ceti Infection in Striped Dolphins from Italian Seas: Associated Lesions and Epidemiological Data [PDF]

Pathogens, 2023
Brucella ceti infections have been increasingly reported in cetaceans. In this study, we analyzed all cases of B. ceti infection detected in striped dolphins stranded along the Italian coastline between 2012 and 2021 (N = 24).

Towards Integrated Surveillance of Marine Brucellosis: Diagnostic and Phylogenetic Assessment of <i>Brucella ceti</i> in Stranded Dolphins of the Western Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Reports of brucellosis in free‐ranging cetaceans are increasing worldwide, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea. To enhance diagnostic accuracy and epidemiological understanding of cetacean brucellosis in the Western Mediterranean Sea, we analyzed bacteriological, serological, and molecular data from 30 cetaceans belonging to three different species ...

Brucella ceti in Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in Portugal—Characterization of First Isolates [PDF]

Animals
This study investigates Brucella ceti infection in marine mammals stranded along the Lisbon and Tagus Valley coast between 2022 and mid-2024, marking the first report of Brucella presence in Portuguese waters. Out of 59 examined marine mammals, B.

Brucella ceti Infection in Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
We describe Brucella sp. infection and associated lesions in a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) found on the coast of Belgium. The infection was diagnosed by immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, and bacteriology, and the organism ...

Brucellosis in Marine Mammals: Meta-Analysis of Prevalence, Infection Patterns, Host Specificity and Zoonotic Potential. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Marine brucellosis shows high prevalence in cetaceans (52%), followed by other marine mammals (30%) and pinnipeds (18%), indicating species‐specific susceptibility. These findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance and diagnostic strategies to mitigate ecological and zoonotic risks.
