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 abortus strain 2308 Wisconsin genome: Importance of the definition of reference strains
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016-09-29)
La brucelosis es una enfermedad infecciosa bacteriana que afecta a una amplia gama de mamíferos y una zoonosis desatendida causada por especies del género genéticamente homogéneo Brucella. Como en la mayoría de los estudios ...
Epidemiology of bovine brucellosis in Costa Rica: Lessons learned from failures in the control of the disease
(PLOS ONE, 2017-08-10)
Brucellosis, caused by Brucella abortus is a major disease of cattle and a zoonosis. In order
to estimate the bovine brucellosis prevalence in Costa Rica (CR), a total 765 herds (13078
bovines) from six regions of CR ...
Brucella abortus senses the intracellular environment through the BvrR/Bvrs two-component system, which allows B. abortus to adapt to its replicative nich
(American Society for Microbiology., 2018-01-16)
Brucella abortus is a facultative extracellular-intracellular pathogen belonging to a group of Alphaproteobacteria that establishes close interactions with animal cells. This bacterium enters host cells in a membrane-bound ...
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. ...
Human Brucella melitensis infections in southern Vietnam
(European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2017-06-29)
Brucellosis is a collective term for infections caused by small Gram-negative coccobacilli belonging to genus Brucella. This genus incorporates the well-described animal pathogens Brucella melitensis, Brucella abortus, ...
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 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 ...
Public 2308W annotation
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2016-09-29)
This is an editable version of B. abortus 2308W. The aim of this document is to provide a simple mechanism for updates in genes annotation.
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 ...
