Causative Agents
Organism is a small, non-motile, Gm-ve bacilli
Four Medically important species are present, B abortus, melitensis, suis & canus.
Successful culture, in only 20% of acute cases
It needs special media for cultivation, blood agar + 10% Co2.
Subspecies are host adapted.
Blood cultures or bone marrow, lymph node, or spelnic puncture may be useful in chronic cases, taken during chills.
Fortunately, isolation of brucellae decreased by refrigeration,

EPIDEMIOLOGY
World-wide endemic disease
Highly endemic in Mediterranean region (hyper endemic in IRAQ Saudi Arabia .
Less common in other civilized countries like European, American, Australian & Japan
Eradicated in theses countries, because of the control of diseases in animals (human cases were positively correlated with animal cases).
In USA 200 cases/year reported ½ of them occupational (Slaughter-house).
Occupational brucellosis happen to those at high risk in contact with animals; butchers, veterinarian, animal house-keepers, cow-boys, farmers etc…

13. EPIDEMIOLOGY- Continued
In In Al-Aska, countries 2-3% of the cases happened among veterinarian during processing of live- vaccines.
USA the commonest type is abortus, this related to the big companies that produce meat & milk & its products.
In European countries, suis is the commonest because of the pigs consumption compared with other countries.
In Mediterranean melitensis is the most common types.
Seasonal variation with peak incidence in April-May.

Mode of transmission
Domestic animals is the reservoir
Animal to animal transmission
ANIAML TO HUMAN TRANSMISSION
HUMAN TO HUMAN.
Occupational brucellosis happen to those at high risk in contact with animals; butchers, veterinarian, animal house-keepers, cow-boys, farmers etc..
