Molecular characterization of Brucella species detected in humans and domestic ruminants of pastoral areas in Kagera ecosystem, Tanzania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 711-719, November 2020., 2020
Authors are reporting the presence of Brucella spp. in sera (from human) also in raw milk (from cattle and goat) which could raise the suspicions of the contribution of brucellosis to abortions observed in humans and animals interacting in pastoral areas of Kagera ecosystem, in Tanzania.

Phenotypic and molecular characterisation of Brucella isolates from marine mammals

BMC Microbiology, 2008
Background Bacteria of the genus Brucella are the causative organisms of brucellosis in animals and man. Previous characterisation of Brucella strains originating from marine mammals showed them to be distinct from the terrestrial species and likely to ...

DNA polymorphism analysis of Brucella lipopolysaccharide genes reveals marked differences in O-polysaccharide biosynthetic genes between smooth and rough Brucella species and novel species-specific markers

BMC Microbiology, 2009
Background The lipopolysaccharide is a major antigen and virulence factor of Brucella, an important bacterial pathogen. In smooth brucellae, lipopolysaccharide is made of lipid A-core oligosaccharide and N-formylperosamine O-polysaccharide. B. ovis and B.

Seroprevalence of Brucellosis and Associated Risk Factors among Indigenous Breeds of Goats in Wukari, Taraba State, Nigeria

Journal of Pathogens, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
A cross‐sectional study was conducted in Wukari, Taraba state, Nigeria, to determine the prevalence of Brucella antibodies and the risk factors associated with brucellosis in indigenous breeds of goats. A total of 386 goats were sampled from three political wards: Puje, Avyi, and Hospital: harvested sera samples were subjected to Rose Bengal Plate Test

Identification of new IS711 insertion sites in Brucella abortus field isolates

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Background Brucellosis is a zoonosis caused by Brucella spp., a group of highly homogeneous bacteria. The insertion sequence IS711 is characteristic of these bacteria, and occurs in variable numbers and positions, but always constant within a given ...

Comparative Seroepidemiological Study of Brucellosis in Sheep under Smallholder Farming and Governmental Breeding Ranches of Central and North East Ethiopia

Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
This cross‐sectional study was carried out to investigate the status of brucellosis in sheep management under extensive smallholder farming and intensively in governmental breeding ranches in six districts selected from three administrative zones. Using multistage sampling, serum samples of 2409 sheep from 274 flocks were collected and tested using the

The Highest Cited Papers in Brucellosis: Identification Using Two Databases and Review of the Papers’ Major Findings

BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Citation classics represent the highest impact work in a given field. We aim to identify and analyze the most frequently cited papers on brucellosis. We used the databases Scopus and Web of Science to determine the most frequently cited papers. The most cited fifty papers in each database were identified.

The European Union summary report on trends and sources of zoonoses, zoonotic agents and food‐borne outbreaks in 2015

EFSA Journal, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2016., 2016
Abstract This report of EFSA and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control presents the results of the zoonoses monitoring activities carried out in 2015 in 32 European countries (28 Member States (MS) and four non‐MS). Campylobacteriosis was the most commonly reported zoonosis and the increasing European Union (EU) trend for confirmed ...

Altered Expressions of miR‐1238‐3p, miR‐494, miR‐6069, and miR‐139‐3p in the Formation of Chronic Brucellosis

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that is still endemic in developing countries. Despite early diagnosis and treatment of patients, chronic infections are seen in 10–30% of patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the immunological factors that play roles in the transition of brucellosis from acute infection into chronic infection.
