The role of neutrophils in Brucellosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-10-14)
Brucellosis is a bacterial disease of domestic animals and humans. The pathogenic ability of Brucella organisms relies on their stealthy strategy and their capacity to replicate within host cells and to induce long-lasting ...
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 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 ...
Canine brucellosis in Costa Rica reveals widespread Brucella canis infection and the recent introduction of foreign strains
(Elsevier, 2021-04-16)
Brucellosis is a prevalent disease in Costa Rica (CR), with an increasing number of human infections. Close to half of homes in CR have one or more dogs, corresponding to ∼1.4 million canines, most of them in the Central ...
Brucella abortus S19 GFP-tagged vaccine allows the serological identification of vaccinated cattle
(PLOS ONE, 2021-11-22)
Bovine brucellosis induces abortion in cows, produces important economic losses, and
causes a widely distributed zoonosis. Its eradication was achieved in several countries after
sustained vaccination with the live ...
The one hundred year journey of the genus Brucella (Mayer and Shaw 1920)
(Oxford University Press, 2021-01-01)
The genus Brucella, described by Meyer and Shaw in 1920, comprises bacterial pathogens of veterinary and public health relevance. For 36 years, the genus came to include three species that caused brucellosis in livestock ...
Platelet depletion does not alter the course of Brucella abortus infection in vivo
(Elsevier, 2022-02-23)
Brucellosis is a bacterial disease of animals and a zoonotic infection. Thrombocytopenia is a common outcome in
long-lasting brucellosis in humans. Likewise, ex vivo experiments have shown that platelets may play a role ...
Pathological Studies and Postmortem Computed Tomography of Dolphins with Meningoencephalomyelitis and Osteoarthritis Caused by Brucella ceti
(MDPI, 2022-05-09)
Cetacean neurobrucellosis is a common cause of strandings in Costa Rica diagnosed by
serology, bacteriology, and histopathology. Pathological studies were performed on 18 dolphins.
Twelve were scanned by postmortem ...
The regulon of Brucella abortus two- component system BvrR/BvrS reveals the coordination of metabolic pathways required for intracellular life
(PLOS ONE, 2022-09-21)
Brucella abortus is a facultative intracellular pathogen causing a severe zoonotic disease
worldwide. The two-component regulatory system (TCS) BvrR/BvrS of B. abortus is con-
served in members of the Alphaproteobacteria ...
Persistence of Brucella abortus lineages revealed by genomic characterization and phylodynamic analysis
(PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020-04-14)
Brucellosis, caused by Brucella abortus, is a major disease of cattle and humans worldwide distributed. Eradication and control of the disease has been difficult in Central and South America, Central Asia, the Mediterranean ...
