Brucellosis is a potentially fatal zoonotic disease of bacterial origin. Cases of Brucellosis occur worldwide. Four species of ''Brucella'' are pathogenic in humans, each with a natural host animal: ''B. abortus'' (cattle), ''B. suis'' (pigs), ''B. melitensis'' (goats and sheep) and ''B. canis'' (dogs).
