| Background | Brucella is a small Gram-negative bacterium (0.4-0.8 µm in diameter and 0.4-3.0 µm in length) which is non-flagellated, and non-spore-forming. Since the discovery of Brucella melitensis by Bruce in 1887, an increasingly complex pattern of strains has emerged, and each type has distinctive epidemiological features. Virulent Brucella organisms can infect both nonphagocytic and phagocytic cells; the mechanisms of pathogenesis of Brucellosis in its natural host species and in humans are still not completely understood. Worldwide, brucellosis remains a major source of disease in humans and domesticated animals. Although reported incidence and prevalence of the disease vary widely from country to country (from <0.01 to >200 per 100,000 population), bovine brucellosis caused mainly by B. abortus is still the most widespread form. Risk groups include abattoir workers, meat inspectors, animal handlers, veterinarians, and laboratory technicians. Brucellosis is a nationally notifiable disease and reportable to the local health authority. |
