Abstract

Brucellosis is a bacterial disease that affects humans and cattle. In humans, Brucellosis is characterized by nonspecific influenza and fever-like symptoms. Brucellosis is caused by different strains of Brucella like B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis, and B. canis. Brucellosis is transferred from sexual contact or breastfeeding.
