Article Synopsis
  • * In a trial, 74 heifers were vaccinated with different strains and then exposed to naturally infected animals, but the initial vaccination did not produce an adequate immune response, and re-vaccination did not show significant protection against the disease.
  • * The study found a 23% transmission of wild-style strains in non-vaccinated animals, and while some vaccine candidates showed promise in reducing lesions, overall results indicated that further evaluation is needed, as current vaccines did not ensure improved outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Bacteria from the genus Brucella cause brucellosis, a serious disease affecting both animals and humans, and have been controversially merged with other unrelated bacterial species based on genomic findings.
  • Researchers argue this merger is inappropriate due to lack of thorough phylogenetic analysis and exclusion of expert opinions in brucellosis.
  • They warn that combining these groups could lead to confusion and risks in public health, particularly impacting those dealing with brucellosis in under-resourced regions, and call for keeping the Brucella genus distinct.

Brucella canis is the main causative agent of canine brucellosis, which affects domestic and wild canids and leads to clinical signs and symptoms of the reproductive and locomotor systems. Owing to the scarce information on this pathogen, here we addressed the genetic diversity of the circulating strains of this species in Argentina by following an MVLA_13 Bc scheme. The analyzed sample set consisted of 101 strains of B.

Brucella parasitize the macrophage where is able to replicate and modulate the immune response in order to establish a chronic infection. The most adequate response to control and eliminate Brucella infection is a type 1 (Th1) cell-mediated effector immunity. Research in immune response of B.

Bovine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus . is one of the most prevalent and economically important parasite species that infects cattle because of its impact on the meat and milk production industry. Effective disease control strategies should include detection of reservoir animals and early and specific pathogen detection using rapid, economical, sensitive, and specific detection techniques.
