Brucellosis is a common zoonotic disease of worldwide distribution and Brucella melitensis is the most common cause. There are only 17 countries in the world that are declared brucellosis-free, while the incidence of the disease is increasing in recent years throughout the world. It is a disease of protean manifestations affecting all different tissues and organs in the human body and attracts the attention of a corresponding multidisciplinary body of clinicians, veterinarians and researchers. A high degree of awareness of brucellosis by clinicians practising outside the endemic regions is essential, particularly with the ease of modern travel. This volume contains a comprehensive review of the world literature on brucellosis.

This review is from: Brucellosis (Hardcover)
This book is a good compilation of papers on Brucellosis. The facinating portions of this book reveal the phylogeny of different species and biovars of Brucellosis - tangible through genetic homogenicity. Furthermore, review of epidemiological data and the experiences of the contributors dispell two long-held opinions of the presentation of Brucellosis patients. Many medical texts report that Brucellosis is uniquely characterized by a persistent depression, which the contributors contend is no more remarkable than that with other disabling diseases. Also, 'Br abortus' has been long believed to present a uniquely high rate of spontanious abortion in pregnant patients, which again the contributors remark is not supported by the epidemiological evidence.I give the book a high rating for its excellent detail in presenting the signs and symptoms of Brucellosis, and its contemporary understanding of a classical disease that is still a problem for much of the world.
