Background: is a potential cause of brucellosis in humans, but this disease has been poorly characterized.
Procedure: A scoping review was completed.
Results: The review yielded 24 studies that described clinical infection in 68 individuals. The median age was 32 y (range: 17 mo to 71 y). Fever, fatigue, headache, chills, and malaise predominated.Specific treatments were reported for 30 individuals. A tetracycline (tetracycline, doxycycline, or minocycline) was the sole treatment or part of a combination treatment for most (21/30, 70%) individuals, followed by rifampin (9/30, 30%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (7/30, 23%), and an aminoglycoside (gentamicin, streptomycin) (7/30, 23%). Clinical outcome was reported for 35 individuals. No mortalities were reported.A known or suspected source of exposure was reported for 56 cases; 45 (80%) were linked to dogs and 11 (20%) to laboratory exposure. Contact with pet dogs that had aborted or with aborted fetuses accounted for 31% of the canine exposures.
Conclusion And Clinical Relevance: Brucellosis attributed to can cause a wide range of clinical presentations in humans, but was similar to brucellosis caused by other spp. This nonspecific nature highlights the importance of identifying risk factors for exposure, to determine whether infection should be considered.

Brucellosis poses a major health and economic challenge in endemic areas, especially in Iran. This study aimed to determine the strains and epidemiological features of Brucella isolated from raw milk at traditional milk sales centers in western Iran. A total of 208 raw milk samples were collected from 104 dairy sales centers in Hamadan province during two sampling periods in 2023.

Background: Brucellosis is one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases worldwide, posing a significant public health concern across both developed and developing nations. While musculoskeletal system involvement is the most common form of focal brucellosis, the genitourinary system represents the second most affected site. However, Brucella-related kidney involvement remains a rare manifestation of genitourinary brucellosis.

More than 60 percent of emerging infectious diseases in humans are zoonoses, and about 70 percent of these come from wildlife. In this context, infectious diseases in animals are no longer a problem confined to the livestock and animal health sector but have important repercussions in public health-related risk assessment and management. One of the most relevant risks in the transmission of zoonoses is certainly the consumption of food contaminated with pathogens, especially because of the potential epidemiological relevance of foodborne outbreaks.

Brucellosis typically spreads from animals to humans through contact with infected animals or their byproducts. This zoonotic disease can have serious consequences and is often caused by contact with infected livestock or their products, such as contaminated dairy, posing significant risks during pregnancy. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Brucella infection among pregnant women residing in the Burao City area of northeast Somaliland, in environments where human-animal interaction is a frequent occurrence.
