TL;DR: The development of a human vaccine for brucellosis is defined, besides the implementation of control and eradication programs in animals, as a high priority and the pathogenicity for humans of the different Brucella species found in cetaceans and pinnipeds still has to be clearly established.

TL;DR: At the animal/ecosystem/human interface it is critical to reduce opportunities for Brucella to jump host species as already seen in livestock, wildlife and humans.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in the early log phase of a growth curve in 2YT nutrient broth, Brucella melitensis expresses genes corresponding to the basal (MS ring) and the distal (hook and filament) parts of the flagellar apparatus.

TL;DR: The seroprevalence varies across strata and animal species with important risk factors including herd size, abortion and transhumance at herd level and age at animal population level and an integrated approach seems appropriate involving all stakeholders working in public and animal health.

TL;DR: In this study, three conditionally dependent serological tests for the diagnosis of small ruminant brucellosis in Bangladesh were validated and considered conditional dependence between IELISA and RBT and betweenRBT and SAT was observed among sheep.
