Brucella
''Brucella'' is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria, named after David Bruce (1855–1931). They are small (0.5 to 0.7 by 0.6 to 1.5 µm), non encapsulated, nonmotile, facultatively intracellular coccobacilli. ''Brucella'' spp. are the cause of brucellosis, which is a zoonosis transmitted by ingesting contaminated food (such as unpasteurized milk products), direct contact with an infected animal, or inhalation of aerosols. Transmission from human to human, for example, through sexual intercourse, or from mother to child, is exceedingly rare, but possible. Minimum infectious exposure is between 10 and 100 organisms. The different species of ''Brucella'' are genetically very similar, although each has a slightly different host specificity. Hence, the National Center for Biotechnology Information taxonomy includes most ''Brucella'' species under ''B. melitensis''. The many names of brucellosis include (human disease/animal disease): * Malta fever/Bang's disease * Undulant feve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brucella Canis
''Brucella canis'' is a Gram-negative bacterium in the family Brucellaceae that causes brucellosis in dogs and other canids. It is a non-motile short-rod or coccus-shaped organism, and is oxidase, catalase, and urease positive. ''B. canis'' causes infertility in both male and female dogs. It can also cause inflammation in the eyes. The hosts of ''B. canis'' ranges from domestic animals to foxes and coyotes. It is passed from species to species via genital fluids. Treatments such as spaying, neutering, and long-term antibiotics have been used to combat ''B. canis.'' The species was first described in the United States in 1966 where mass abortions of beagles were documented. ''Brucella canis'' can be found in both pets and wild animals and lasts the lifespan of the animal it has affected. ''B. canis'' has two distinct circular chromosomes that can attribute to horizontal gene transfer. Morphology Brucella are non-motile meaning that they cannot move themselves and they must h ...

Brucella Ceti
''Brucella ceti'' is a gram negative bacterial pathogen of the Brucellaceae family that causes brucellosis in cetaceans. ''Brucella ceti'' has been found in both classes of cetaceans, mysticetes and odontocetes. Brucellosis in some dolphins and porpoises can result in serious clinical signs including fetal abortions, male infertility, neurobrucellosis, cardiopathies, bone and skin lesions, stranding events, and death. ''Brucella ceti'' was first isolated in 1994 when an aborted dolphin fetus was discovered. Only a small portion of those with ''Brucella ceti'' have overt clinical signs of brucellosis indicating that many have the bacteria and remain asymptomatic or overcome the pathogen. Serological surveys have shown that cetacean brucellosis may be distributed worldwide in the oceans. The likely transmission route for the bacterial pathogen in cetaceans is through mating or reproduction and lactation. Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease A zoonosis (; plural zoonoses) or ...
