Serological surveys have shown that cetacean brucellosis may be distributed worldwide in the oceans. The likely transmission route for the bacterial pathogen in cetaceans is through mating or reproduction and lactation. [1] Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease: marine mammal brucellosis can infect other species, including human beings.
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
