The genus Brucella and clinical manifestations of brucellosis
Mariana Noyma XavierI Érica Azevedo CostaI Tatiane Alves PaixãoI
Renato Lima SantosI*
Abstract
Infection with bacteria of the genus Brucella results
in major economic and political impact by causing reproductive
diseases in a significant number of domestic animal species.
Moreover, it has a great social significance, since many species
are capable of causing human infection, with severe
consequences. Dissemination of knowledge on a specific disease
is an essential step for its control. Considering that brucellosis
is still the most prevalent zoonosis in the world, information
about taxonomy, clinical signs in domestic animals and humans
are crucial for attempting to reduce the prevalence of this
disease. The recent isolation and characterization of nonclassical
species of Brucella indicates that a lot remains to be
discovered about this genus. Nevertheless, due to the socialeconomic
importance of brucellosis, this review aims to clarify
points related to taxonomy of the genus and describe the clinical
relevance of infection in humans and domestic animals.
