Brucellosis the disease clinically may mimic severe flu and may vary to crippling arthritis or meningitis. There is no cure for brucellosis in animals and humans are treated with very high doses of antibiotics for extended periods to hopefully clear the infection. Animals and humans are exposed to the Brucella bacterium by handling or contact with infected placentas, amneonic fluids, vaginal discharges, milk semen, reproductive tissues, and exudates from infected animals usually just prior to and after an abortion |
