Brucellosis [4] is a zoonosis caused by ingestion of unpasteurized milk from infected animals, or close contact with their secretions. [5] It is also known as undulant fever , Malta fever , and Mediterranean fever .
Brucellosis is also considered an occupational disease because of a higher incidence in people working with animals (slaughterhouse cases). People may also be infected by inhalation of contaminated dust or aerosols, and as such, the CDC has labeled Brucella species as highly weaponizable.
Brucella suis is a bacterium that causes swine brucellosis, a zoonosis that affects pigs. The disease typically causes chronic inflammatory lesions in the reproductive organs of susceptible animals or orchitis , and may even affect joints and other organs. [ 1 ]

Brucella canis is a Gram-negative bacterium in the family Brucellaceae that causes brucellosis in dogs and other canids. It is a non-motile short-rod or coccus-shaped organism, and is oxidase, catalase, and urease positive. [1] B. canis causes infertility in both male and female dogs. It can also cause inflammation in the eyes.
Humans can become infected if they have contact with an infected animal or its byproducts. Animals acquire B. melitensis by venereal transmission. [1] The organism is found in blood, urine, milk, and semen. [1] It is zoonotic, unlike B. ovis, causing Malta fever or localized brucellosis in humans. Brucella melitensis colonies growing on agar
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease: marine mammal brucellosis can infect other species, including human beings. Brucella spp. are gram-negative in their staining morphology. Brucella spp. are poorly staining, small gram-negative coccobacilli (0.5-0.7 x 0.6-1.5 μm), and are seen mostly as single cells
