Brucella will cause ___ in humans
undulant fever
how to get brucella
highly contagious zoonosis
ingest raw milk/meat
direct contact to secretions → repro (placenta)
have to usually report to authorities
pathogenesis of brucella
lives inside cells → forms brucellasomes
migrate to areas with high erythritol (sugar alcohol) → reproductive organs
also found in supra-mammary lymph nodes (milk), bones and joints
lifelong infection
brucella are attracted to ___ inside the cell
erythritol → sugar alcohol
males with bucellosis
enlarged sex organs → orchitis
sterility
females with brucellosis
abortion
reduced milk yield
infertility
juveniles with brucellosis will →
usually die
aka. poor doers
three types of smooth brucellae
B. suis → feral pigs→ cattle and dogs
brucella abortus → cattle and bison → undulant fever, fistulous withers →(wild bison in yellowstone) →slaughter surveillance and vaccine at 6-12 months (live attenuated
B. melitensis → goats and sheep cheese → foreign animal disease
two type of rough brucellae
B. ovis → sheep rams large sex organs. ewes resistant
B. canis → dogs → abortion → check before breeding → FUO, orchitis, discospondylitis → spay, cull, doxy
how to tell smooth from rough brucellae

brucella abortus in the US
Brucella abortus surveillance
national → slaughter and high risk states → card agglutination, ELISA
milk ring test → no longer federally funded → blue ring +
