	Livestock Disease Brucellosis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Brucellosis once affected more than 10 percent of the cattle population and perhaps as many as 30 percent of the cattle herds in the U.S. Annual production losses to United States dairy producers alone were estimated at $499 million annually in 1951 (1993 dollars) before an eradication program began.
		In cattle, brucellosis is primarily a disease of the female, the cow.
		The brucellosis organism localizes in the testicles of the bull and produces an orchitis (inflammation of the testicles), whereas in the female the organism localizes in the udder, uterus, and lymph nodes adjacent to the uterus.

	Brucellosis \| Caremark Health Resources
		Brucellosis is a bacterial disease caused by members of the Brucella genus that can infect humans but primarily infects livestock.
		In humans, brucellosis continues to be spread via unpasteurized milk obtained from infected cows or through contact with the discharges of cattle and goats during miscarriage.
		Brucellosis may also be diagnosed by culturing and isolating the bacteria from one of the above samples.

	MEDILINKS AFRICA
		Brucellosis is transmitted through contaminated and untreated milk and milk products and by direct contact with infected animals (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, camels, buffaloes, wild ruminants and, very recently, seals), animal carcasses, and abortion materials.
		Brucellosis can be prevented in humans by controlling, or better, eliminating the disease in the animal population and avoiding consumption of raw milk and raw milk products.
		Brucellosis control programmes based on various strategies, including vaccination and/or test-and-slaughter of infected animals, have been successful in controlling the disease in animals in several countries, resulting in a drastic reduction in its incidence in the human population.

	Defra, UK - Disease surveillance and control - Notifiable diseases - Brucellosis (Brucella abortus)
		Brucellosis of cattle, known as "contagious abortion", is caused by infection with the bacterium Brucella abortus, which can also cause a disease of humans known as "undulant fever".
		Brucellosis of cattle is a notifiable disease which was eradicated from cattle in Great Britain in 1979, but has been reintroduced on several occasions by imported cattle.
		In 2003, brucellosis was confirmed in four cattle herds in Scotland and most recently in March 2004 it was confirmed in a beef suckler herd in Cornwall.

	Brucellosis
		Brucellosis is a highly contagious disease of many animals and is caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella.
		Brucellosis has been reported throughout the world since its discovery in the latter part of the nineteenth century, and has long been considered an important disease in man, cattle, goats and swine.
		Brucellosis affects many different organs in animals and consequently the signs of the disease will be influenced by the nature and extent of the infection and the species involved.

		Brucellosis is a bacterial disease found in domestic and wild animals (cattle, goats, dogs, coyotes, swine, sheep, deer, elk, caribou and other animals).
		Brucellosis can be transmitted to humans by the oral route through ingestion of unpasteurized milk or milk products, via inhalation of aerosols generated on farms and in slaughterhouses, or when the bacteria enters cuts and abrasions in the skin.
		Brucellosis in children is frequently a mild self-limited disease compared with the more chronic disease observed among adults.
