Introduction
Brucella ovis is one of the bacterial organism responsible for Ovine Epididymitis, along with Brucella melitensis.
It is one of the Brucella genus of bacteria.
It is a gram negative coccobacillus that sometimes forms chains in tissues.
Lifecycle
Brucella ovis can be transmitted by the stable fly.
Pathogenesis
Severe inflammation of the epididymis, particularly the tail, cause formation of spermatocoeles and fibrinous adhesions.
