Brucellosis | البروسيلا / الحمى المالطية

Description Disease

A chronic bacterial disease causing abortion storms, infertility, and weak newborns.

Animals can remain lifelong carriers and shed bacteria through milk and birthing fluids, posing a serious zoonotic risk.

Transmission Infection

Infects reproductive organs and placenta. Spread via aborted fetuses, placental fluids, milk, and contaminated environment.

Prevention Vaccination

Live attenuated vaccine (Rev‑1/S19). Administer only to young females — never to pregnant animals due to abortion risk.
