Abstract

Bovine brucellosis is a contagious disease of cattle and can be transmitted to humans (zoonosis). It also causes abortions in the last third of pregnancy, retention of the placenta and the birth of weak offspring, which subsequently leads to high rates of infertility. This pathology has spread to several countries, which has resulted in it being identified as a public health disease, since it causes damage to both animals and humans, and due to this, it has consequences of economic importance.
