TL;DR: The bacteriological and serological evidence of brucellosis in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and its epidemiological characteristics are discussed and gaps identified.

TL;DR: The isolation, identification and molecular characterization of Brucella spp.

TL;DR: It is established that brucellosis is endemic in domestic animals in the livestock–wildlife interface areas of Blue Lagoon and Lochinvar national parks and the disease is also present in Kazungula and that transhumant herds were at high risk of being infected.

TL;DR: The high TBC of raw and processed milk generally indicated low levels of milking hygienic practices, and high level of post-processing contamination, respectively, which may present a public health hazard.

TL;DR: The implementation of stamping out policy, bleeding and testing animals before movement and promoting the use self-contained units are likely to significantly reduce the public health risks associated with Brucella infections in cattle.
