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 ...
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 ...
