Abstract:

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that affects all domestic animals including camels. It is infectious to human beings also. Camels are infected by B. melitensis and Brucella abortus. Infection is transmitted to humans from infected animals mainly by direct or indirect contact with animals and consumption of unpasteurized milk and contaminated meat and milk products. Here we review Brucellosis in camel and various aspects of its zoonotic transmission to humans.


Keywords: Malta fever, Mediterranean fever, undulant fever and gastric remittent fever
