Abstract

Brucellosis, often referred to as undulant fever or Malta fever, is a bacterial zoonotic disease caused by members of the genus Brucella. This infectious disease primarily affects animals, particularly livestock such as cattle, goats, sheep, and pigs, but it can also pose a significant risk to human health. With a global distribution and economic implications for agriculture, brucellosis remains a persistent concern for both veterinary and public health authorities. This article aims to provide an in-depth exploration of brucellosis, its causes, transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies.
