DOI: 10.1002/vms3.99
Abstract: Abstract Despite the intensive implementation of control programmes goat, sheep and human brucellosis remains endemic in Greece. As the discrimination between field endemic strains and vaccine strain Rev.1 is not feasible, it is essential to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13567-022-01034-z
Abstract: Brucella melitensis and Brucella ovis are gram-negative pathogens of sheep that cause severe economic losses and, although B. ovis is non-zoonotic, B. melitensis is the main cause of human brucellosis. B. melitensis carries a smooth… read more here.
