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. ...
Serological diagnosis of brucella infections in odontocetes
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-04-15)
Brucella ceti causes disease in Odontoceti. The absence of control serum collections and the diversity of
cetaceans have hampered the standardization of serological tests for the diagnosis of cetacean brucellosis. Without ...

(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 ...
Estudios anátomo-histopatológicos e inmunohistoquímicos sobre las patologías de los cetáceos encallados en Costa Rica durante el período 2001-2007. Con énfasis especial en el diagnóstico de Brucella y Morbillivirus
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2008)
Costa Rica cuenta con una extensión marítima diez veces mayor a su extensión terrestre. En
estas aguas habita el treinta y cinco por ciento de la biodiversidad mundial de cetáceos,
representada por aproximadamente 29 ...
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 ...
Virulent Brucella nosferati infecting Desmodus rotundus has emerging potential due to the broad foraging range of its bat host for humans and wild and domestic animals
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-07-05)
Desmodus rotundus, vampire bats, transmit dangerous infections, and
brucellosis is a hazardous zoonotic disease, two adversities that coexist in the subtropical
and tropical areas of the American continent. Here, we ...
