Brucella abortus S19 and RB51 are the most used vaccines to control bovine brucellosis worldwide; therefore, this study aimed to perform a systematic review on the effectiveness of these two vaccine strains in field studies. The literature review was conducted on April 3rd 2020 on six databases (CABI, Cochrane, PubMed, Scielo, Scopus and Web of Science) and included papers published between 1976 and 2016. The search strategy recovered a total of 5846 papers on databases and 6 papers were included due to specialists' suggestions.

Article Synopsis
- Brucella suis infection in dogs is a growing concern globally, necessitating specific management due to zoonotic and animal welfare risks.
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of three serological tests (RBRPT, CFT, C-ELISA) on 989 dog serum samples to diagnose Brucella suis, using advanced statistical techniques to interpret results.
- Results showed that while all tests are useful for detecting B. suis antibodies, they should not be used alone; their accuracy depends on the likelihood of the disease based on the dog's background and clinical signs.
Testing for Blastomycosis, Coccidioidomycosis, and Histoplasmosis at a Major Commercial Laboratory, United States, 2019-2024.

Mycotic Diseases Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, and histoplasmosis are fungal diseases that mimic pneumonia symptoms, causing diagnostic delays as healthcare providers often don’t consider them initially.
- A study analyzed lab tests from a national lab system between 2019 and 2024, revealing low positive rates for these diseases and highlighting that most tests were ordered by hospitals for histoplasmosis and blastomycosis, while primary care providers primarily ordered coccidioidomycosis tests.
- The findings suggest these fungal infections may be underdiagnosed in primary care and public health settings, signaling a need for greater testing and enhanced surveillance to better manage these diseases.
