Topic:Brucellosis

Brucellosis in horses is a bacterial infection caused by the Brucella species, primarily Brucella abortus and Brucella suis. Although less common in horses compared to other livestock, brucellosis can result in clinical manifestations such as lameness, abscesses, and reproductive disorders. Transmission typically occurs through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated materials. Diagnosis involves serological testing, bacterial culture, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. This page aggregates peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic techniques, and management strategies for brucellosis in equine populations.
