Vaccination control programs for multiple livestock host species: an age-stratified, seasonal transmission model for brucellosis control in endemic settings [PDF]
, 2016 Brucella melitensis causes production losses in ruminants and febrile disease in humans in Africa, Central Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere. Although traditionally understood to affect primarily sheep and goats, it is also the predominant Brucella ...

Brucellosis and chlamydiosis seroprevalence in goats at livestock–wildlife interface areas of Zimbabwe [PDF]
, 2019 In Zimbabwe, there have been no chlamydiosis and limited brucellosis studies in goats. This study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of the two diseases in goats at three different livestock–wildlife interface areas: porous ...

Btp Proteins from Brucella abortus Modulate the Lung Innate Immune Response to Infection by the Respiratory Route [PDF]
, 2017 Although inhalation of infected aerosols is a frequent route for Brucella infection in humans, it rarely causes pulmonary clinical manifestations, suggesting a mild or nearly absent local inflammatory response.

Testicular abscesses due to Brucella melitensis
New Microbes and New Infections, 2018 Brucella may cause testicular masses, which may be confused with a testicular tumour. We present the case of a man with fever and oedema in the scrotum. Ultrasound and colour Doppler ultrasound with a 6 to 15 MHz high-frequency linear-array transducer was performed, revealing bilateral scrotal wall oedema, heterogeneous echo texture and slightly ...

Morphological analysis of the sheathed flagellum of Brucella melitensis [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2010 It was recently shown that B. melitensis is flagellated. However, the flagellar structure remains poorly described.We analyzed the structure of the polar sheathed flagellum of B. melitensis by TEM analysis and demonstrated that the Ryu staining is a good method to quickly visualize the flagellum by optical microscopy. The TEM analysis demonstrated that

In vitro susceptibility of Brucella melitensis to antibiotics [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1991 The in vitro susceptibilities of 86 recent clinical isolates of Brucella melitensis to minocycline, streptomycin, co-trimoxazole, rifampin, and six fluoroquinolones were determined. Minocycline exhibited the lowest MIC and was followed by rifampin and streptomycin. Among the quinolones, WIN 57273 and ciprofloxacin were the most active agents.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Associated with Brucellosis in Livestock Owners in Jordan [PDF]
, 2015 We evaluated livestock owners' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding brucellosis in Jordan. A questionnaire was administered and biological samples were examined to verify the serological status of animals. Seroprevalence estimates indicated that

IL-1R and inflammasomes mediate early pulmonary protective mechanisms in respiratory brucella abortus infection [PDF]
, 2016 Brucella spp. infection is frequently acquired through contaminated aerosols. The role of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in the early pulmonary response to respiratory Brucella infection is unknown.

The small protein CydX is required for function of cytochrome bd oxidase in Brucella abortus. [PDF]
, 2012 A large number of hypothetical genes potentially encoding small proteins of unknown function are annotated in the Brucella abortus genome. Individual deletion of 30 of these genes identified four mutants, in BAB1_0355, BAB2_0726, BAB2_0470, and BAB2_0450

tRNA signatures reveal polyphyletic origins of streamlined SAR11 genomes among the alphaproteobacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Phylogenomic analyses are subject to bias from compositional convergence and noise from horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Compositional convergence is a likely cause of controversy regarding phylogeny of the SAR11 group of Alphaproteobacteria that have ...
