Serological Investigation for Brucella ceti in Cetaceans from the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Animals
Neurobrucellosis in cetaceans, caused by Brucella ceti, is a relevant cause of death in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) from the Mediterranean Sea. Serological tests are not used as a routinary technique for the diagnosis of this infection.

Serological Diagnosis of Brucella Infection in Cetaceans by Rapid Serum Agglutination Test and Competitive ELISA with Brucella abortus and Brucella ceti as Antigens [PDF]

Pathogens
Rose Bengal antigen and smooth lipopolysaccharide (s-LPS) were produced from a field strain of Brucella ceti (“homologous” antigens) and from the reference strain B.

Immunohistochemical investigations on Brucella ceti-infected, neurobrucellosis-affected striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) [PDF]

Veterinaria Italiana, 2020
Bacteria of the genus Brucella cause brucellosis, an infectious disease common to humans as well as to terrestrial and aquatic mammals. Since 1994 several cases of Brucella spp. infection have been reported in marine mammals worldwide.

Pathological Studies and Postmortem Computed Tomography of Dolphins with Meningoencephalomyelitis and Osteoarthritis Caused by Brucella ceti

Oceans, 2022
Cetacean neurobrucellosis is a common cause of strandings in Costa Rica diagnosed by serology, bacteriology, and histopathology. Pathological studies were performed on 18 dolphins.

MLVA-16 typing of 295 marine mammal Brucella isolates from different animal and geographic origins identifies 7 major groups within Brucella ceti and Brucella pinnipedialis [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2009
Background Since 1994, Brucella strains have been isolated from a wide range of marine mammals. They are currently recognized as two new Brucella species, B. pinnipedialis for the pinniped isolates and B.

Brucella ceti infection in dolphins from the Western Mediterranean sea. [PDF]

BMC Vet Res, 2014
Brucella ceti infections have been increasingly reported in cetaceans. Brucellosis in these animals is associated with meningoencephalitis, abortion, discospondylitis', subcutaneous abscesses, endometritis and other pathological conditions B. ceti infections have been frequently described in dolphins from both, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Brucella ceti, prion protein, dioxins and dolphins: A dangerous interplay? [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2015
This is a "General Commentary", dealing, on one side, with a recent review article on Brucella spp. and proposing, on the other side, a pathogenetic mechanism underlying the neurotropic behaviour of Brucella ceti in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), with subsequent development of "neurobrucellosis", a disease condition frequently encountered in

Pathology of Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) Infected with Brucella ceti [PDF]

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2010
Seventeen striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) displaying swimming disorders compatible with neurological syndromes were investigated for Brucella infection. Sixteen dolphins had meningoencephalomyelitis. Serum antibody against Brucella antigen was detected in all 14 animals tested and Brucella ceti was isolated from eight out of nine animals ...

Whole-Genome Sequence of the First Sequence Type 27 Brucella ceti Strain Isolated from European Waters. [PDF]

Genome Announc, 2017
ABSTRACT Brucella spp. that cause marine brucellosis are becoming more important, as the disease appears to be more widespread than originally thought. Here, we report a whole and annotated genome sequence of Brucella ceti CRO350, a sequence type 27 strain isolated from a bottlenose dolphin ...
