Brucellosis Share
Also known as contagious abortion or Bang’s disease, bovine brucellosis is a contagious bacterial disease that has a significant impact on the health of cattle and the general public. It is a widespread zoonosis that can be transmitted through direct contact with infected animals or the consumption of contaminated raw animal products.
Brucellosis is a significant threat to livestock because the bacterial infection has severe economic consequences that include decreased milk production, weight loss, abortion, infertility, and lameness.
