Serologically, all animals infected with B. abortus 2308-QAE tested positive for the presence of Brucella antibodies in their sera on the brucellosis card test and by Western immunoblot analysis, which used cell lysates from B. abortus 2308, B. abortus 2308-QAE, and B. melitensis 16M. Western blot analysis results were indicative of what is seen typically when the sera from animals exposed to smooth Brucella species are analyzed. RB51 animals all remained negative on the brucellosis card test. 

Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria of the genus Brucella. These bacteria are primarily passed among animals, and they cause disease in many different vertebrates. Various Brucella species affect sheep, goats, cattle, deer, elk, pigs, dogs, and several other animals. Humans become infected by coming in contact with animals or animal products that are contaminated with these bacteria. In humans brucellosis can cause a range of symptoms that are similar to the flu and may include fever, sweats, headaches, back pains, and physical weakness.

Brief description Brucellosis is an infectious multi-system disease caused by the Gram-negative coccobacilli Brucella species. Human infection is uncommon in the UK with fewer than 20 cases reported per year (most of these are usually acquired abroad). It is more common in some parts of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South and Central America and the Caribbean. Confirmation of a human case without a history of travel to an endemic area or occupational exposure suggests a deliberate release.

Brucellosis is another disease of domesticated animals and usually occurs in humans as a result of ingestion of unpasteurized dairy products. Person-to-person transmission is very rare. The infectious agent is one of six species of the Brucella bacterium. Although nonsporulating, brucellae are aerobic organisms viable for long periods outside a host. Its ready...
