Brucella ceti and brucellosis in cetaceans
(Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2012-02-06)Since the first case of brucellosis detected in a dolphin aborted fetus, an increasing number of Brucella ceti isolates has been reported in members of the two suborders of cetaceans: Mysticeti and Odontoceti. Serological ... -
Brucella ceti infection in dolphins from the Western Mediterranean sea
(Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2012)Background: Brucella ceti infections have been increasingly reported in cetaceans. Brucellosis in these animals is associated with meningoencephalitis, abortion, discospondylitis', subcutaneous abscesses, endometritis and ... -
Brucella evades macrophage killing via VirB-dependent sustained interactions with the endoplasmic reticulum
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2003-01-18)The intracellular pathogen Brucella is the causative agent of brucellosis, a worldwide zoonosis that affects mammals, including humans. Essential to Brucella virulence is its ability to survive and replicate inside host ... -
Brucella evolution and taxonomy
(Elsevier Science B.V, 2002)The genus Brucella contains alpha-Proteobacteria adapted to intracellular life within cells of a variety of mammals. Controversy has arisen concerning Brucella internal taxonomy, and it has been proposed that the DNA–DNA ... -
Brucella genetic variability in wildlife marine mammals populations relates to host preference and ocean distribution
(Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2017-07-20)Intracellular bacterial pathogens probably arose when their ancestor adapted from a free-living environment to an intracellular one, leading to clonal bacteria with smaller genomes and less sources of genetic plasticity. ... -
Brucella genomics: macro and micro evolution
(MDPI AG, 2020-10-20)Brucella organisms are responsible for one of the most widespread bacterial zoonoses, named brucellosis. The disease affects several species of animals, including humans. One of the most intriguing aspects of the brucellae ... -
Brucella melitensis: a nasty bug with hidden credentials for virulence
(The National Academy of Sciences, 2002-01-08)On September 23, 1905, a cargo carrying 60 goats from Malta arrived in New York. The herd was kept in quarantine because of several deaths that occurred during the journey. Crewmen, an agent from the U.S. Bureau of Animal ... -
Brucella neotomae infection in humans, Costa Rica
(Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017-06)Several species of Brucella are known to be zoonotic, but B. neotomae infection has been thought to be limited to wood rats. In 2008 and 2011, however, B. neotomae was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid of 2 men with ... -
Brucella sp. sequence‑type 27 associated with abortion in dwarf sperm whale Kogia sima
(Springer Link, 2021-05-18)A dwarf sperm whale Kogia sima stranded alive along the Central Pacifc Coast of Costa Rica. The whale, handled by tourists and local inhabitants, was weak, had buoyancy difculties, and eventually aborted and died, showing ... -
Brucella spp. en el hato ovino costarricense
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2015-03-12)La brucelosis en ovinos es causada por Brucella melitensis, B. abortus, y B. ovis, provocando principalmente en el caso de las dos primeras especies, problemas en la reproducción de las hembras y en el caso de B. ovis, ... -
Brucella β 1,2 cyclic glucan is an activator of human and mouse dendritic cells
(PLoS Pathogens, 2012-11-15)Bacterial cyclic glucans are glucose polymers that concentrate within the periplasm of alpha-proteobacteria. These molecules are necessary to maintain the homeostasis of the cell envelope by contributing to the osmolarity ... -
Brucella-Salmonella lipopolysaccharide chimeras are less permeable to hydrophobic probes and more sensitive to cationic peptides and EDTA than are their native Brucella sp. counterparts
(American Society for Microbiology, 1996-08-12)A rough (R) Brucella abortus 45/20 mutant was more sensitive to the bactericidal activity of polymyxin B and lactoferricin B than was its smooth (S) counterpart but considerably more resistant than Salmonella montevideo. ... -
Brucellosis caused by the wood rat pathogen Brucella Neotomae: two case reports
(Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017-12-19)Background: Brucellosis is a chronic bacterial disease caused by members of the genus Brucella. Among the classical species stands Brucella neotomae, until now, a pathogen limited to wood rats. However, we have identified ... -
Brucellosis in Central America
(Elsevier Science B.V, 2002)Brucellosis is a disease of domestic animals and humans in Central America (CA). Bovine and swine brucellosis caused by Brucella abortus and Brucella suis, respectively, have been identified in all CA countries, while ovine ... -
Brucellosis in mammals of Costa Rica: an epidemiological survey
(PLOS ONE, 2017-08-09)La brucelosis ha sido una enfermedad endémica del ganado y los seres humanos en Costa Rica desde principios del siglo XX. Sin embargo, no se ha reportado brucelosis en ovejas, cabras, cerdos, búfalos de agua, caballos y ... -
Brucellosis in mammals of Costa Rica: An epidemiological survey
(PLOS ONE, 2017-08-09)Brucellosis has been an endemic disease of cattle and humans in Costa Rica since the beginning of XX century. However, brucellosis in sheep, goats, pigs, water buffaloes, horses and cetaceans, has not been reported in ... -
