Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brucellosis, a disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella, is one of the most common zoonoses worldwide, adversely affecting animal health and welfare, public health, the global economy and trade. Animal brucellosis has been successfully eradicated in most developed countries, but remains endemic in Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Southern Europe, representing a major public health concern. However, humans are not natural hosts for brucellae, and the source of infection is usually found in domestic or wild animal reservoirs. Diagnosis and control of brucellosis is still a challenging, multisectoral process requiring attention to human, animal and environmental health.
This Special Issue will showcase the most recent research and developments in the epidemiology, disease diagnosis, control, and strategies for the prevention of brucellosis in domestic and wild animals. Original research and review papers are welcome.
