dc.description.abstractBrucellosis is mainly transmitted to humans from cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and camels through direct contact with blood, placenta, foetuses or uterine secretions, or through consumption of contaminated raw animal products. The most important clinical manifestation in livestock is reproductive failure. Brucellosis is an occupational disease for smallholder farmers, abattoir workers and others in contact with animals. Many countries have achieved control with currently available vaccines. However, they require a solid surveillance program and good veterinary services. In humans, brucella sp. causes a flu-like febrile syndrome. There are no vaccines for humans, and treatment by antibiotics is complex.en
