Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria. The main reservoir for Brucella species is animals. The most common species are usually associated with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and rarely dogs.
In the acute form of illness (less than 8 weeks from illness onset), nonspecific and "flu-like" symptoms may include:
  • fever
  • sweats
  • malaise
  • anorexia
  • headache
  • myalgia
  • back pain
In the undulant form of illness (less than 1 year from illness onset), symptoms may include:
  • undulant fevers
  • arthritis
  • epididymo-orchitis in males
In Arizona the most common risk factor is consumption of unpasteurized milk, milk products or cheese.
Arizona 5 year median: 1 case
Transmission
Contact with tissues, blood, urine, vaginal discharges, aborted fetuses and especially placentas, and by ingestion of raw, unpasteurized milk and dairy products from infected animals.
Airborne infection of animals occurs in pens and stables, and of humans in laboratories and abattoirs.
Brucella is rarely transmitted from person-to-person.
Mothers may transmit the infection to their infants congenitally or through breast-feeding.
Sexual transmission has also been reported.
Although uncommon, transmission may also occur via contaminated tissue transplantation. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
