Abstract
Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonosis that causes much clinical morbidity as well as considerable loss of productivity in animal husbandry. It has been present for millennia and has managed to elude eradication even in most developed countries.Transmission of brucellosis to humans occurs through the consumption of infected, un-pasteurized animal products, through ruptures in skin/mucous membranes in direct contact with infected animal parts and fluids (e.g placenta, urine, dung)
