The emergence of Brucella canis as a public health threat in Europe: what we know and what we need to learn

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
The zoonotic bacteria, Brucella canis, is becoming the leading cause of canine brucellosis in Europe. In dogs, it causes reproductive problems as well as non-specific lameness or discospondilitis. In humans, B. canis can be origin of chronic debilitating

A Case of Identity Confirmation of Brucella abortus S99 by Phage Typing and PCR Methods [PDF]

Archives of Razi Institute, 2019
Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection that is associated with fever in humans and abortion in animals. The agent of this disease is a facultative intracellular gram-negative coccobacillus called Brucella. There are six classic species, including B. abortus,
