Introduction

Figure 1. Colored scanning electron micrograph of B. melitensis. All Brucella species are non-flagellated, Gram-negative coccobacilli. [1] [2]


By Hannah Wedig


Figure 2. The various transmission pathways of B. melitensis. Pasteurization, fermentation, exposure to sunlight, and infection of certain paratenic hosts such as horses or humans are considered dead ends in that they either kill or prevent significant transmission of Brucella. [3]


Figure 3. The phylogeny of the genus Brucella aligned with the phylogeny of their respective, preferred host species. The width of the cones in the Brucella phylogeny is proportional to the number of strains analyzed for that species. The host phylogeny is represented in millions of years. [4]


Figure 4. Global occurrences of Brucellosis in humans. The highest incidences are recorded in Syria (1603.4 incidences per 1M people per year), Mongolia (605.9 incidences per 1M people per year), and Kyrgyzstan (362.2 incidences per 1M people per year). The incidence of Brucellosis in the United States is 0.4 per 1M people per year. [5]
