Specific Detection and Differentiation Between Brucella melitensis and Brucella abortus by a Duplex Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonosis caused by a species under the genus Brucella. A duplex recombinase polymerase amplification (Duplex RPA) assay for the specific detection of Brucella melitensis and Brucella abortus was developed in this study.

Identification of Main Brucella species Implicated in Ovine and Caprine Abortion Cases by Molecular and Classical Methods [PDF]

Archives of Razi Institute, 2021
Brucellosis is recognized as a major public health concern leading to critical economic losses in livestock animals. The present study assessed Brucella spp. isolated from aborted ovine and caprine fetuses in different parts of Iran between 2016 and 2019.

A Retrospective Study (2015–2020) on the Risk Factors Associated with the Persistence and Spread of Brucellosis in Buffalo Farms in Caserta Province, Italy

Veterinary Sciences
Bovine and bubaline brucellosis is still present in some regions of Italy. Although control and eradication measures have been implemented for several years, the brucellosis situation remains problematic in the Campania region.

Geographical distribution of Brucella melitensis inferred from rpoB gene variation

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2017
Introduction: Currently available tests have limitations for the identification of Brucella species and strains, and their genetic lineage. The genome sequence of the rpoB gene encoding the β-subunit of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase was investigated for ...

Co‐Infection of Brucella canis and Brucella melitensis in a Domestic Dog With Zoonotic Transmission to Human, China

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Source attribution figure for human and dogs Brucella canis infections. ABSTRACT We report a rare occurrence of genetic material from both Brucella canis and B. melitensis detected in a domesticated dog from Jiangsu Province, China. The detection was confirmed through serological assays, quantitative PCR (qPCR), metagenomic and genomic sequencing ...

Spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and pathogenic leptospires in feral pigs across New South Wales

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are important reservoirs for zoonotic and livestock pathogens in Australia, but robust information on the spatial distribution of pathogens in pig populations remains limited. We analysed serological data from a systematic, state‐wide surveillance program to investigate spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and ...

Isolation and identification of Brucella melitensis in goats. [PDF]

, 2011
Isolation of Brucella melitensis is the standard gold of identification and confirmation of animal brucellosis. However in Malaysia, Brucella sp., infection of goat was increasing recently and there is no evidence for diagnosis of the serover of Brucella
