brucellosis in bison

I added a short bit, reablly don't have time to do much moreWsvlqc (talk) 01:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

This bit on transmission seems unnecessarily obscure: "Leftovers from parturition are also extremely rich in highly virulent brucellae." I'm not sure how to rewrite it clearly. Believe it talks about the placenta or afterbirth left on the ground and consumed by another animal, presumably one that can be infected. 70.174.109.211 (talk) 03:34, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

biological warfare
Added a section on the biological warfare history of brucellosis Reid Kirby

House
The episode was not euphoria, that one dealt with a brain eating parasite and not a infection of brucellosis.

Goat fever
I think what I had years ago, and what doctors in USA completely failed to identify, was this type of fever. Only an Argentinian psychitrist acquaintance was able to name it as Brucellosis. I had made the connection to my military service in South West of Turkey, where goat meat consumption was common. For a number of years, a wave of tremors and shivering would come on instantly, then followed by extreme fever and sweat, and then the whole thing would be over in one hour or so. It became less frequent and disappeared in a few years. Probably a result of antibiotics I took for other reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.77.156.149 (talk) 13:06, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

It should make sense now.
"The two main causes for spontaneous abortion in animals are erythritol, which causes infections in the fetus and placenta, and the lack of anti-Brucella activity in the amniotic fluid."

Erythritol is an indigestible sugar. Not sure how all the "animals" are managing to encounter and ingest it. The second part of that sentence contains a double negative, and none of the sentence has a cited source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.36.113.60 (talk) 07:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

The animals are eating the Erythritol

Brucellosis in Wildlife
This article emphasizes the spread of the disease in humans and in livestock, but it does not devote much explanation to its presence in wildlife. I plan to add a section emphasizing Brucellosis in wildlife populations, including its origin, effects, and management techniques. The section will focus on the disease in the western United States. I will consolidate some information already referencing this phenomenon throughout the article into this section.

Some sources I plan to use are these.

Sources for obsolete names needed
There is a list of obsolete names; some of these are trivial (eg "Maltese fever" when "Malta fever" appears in the main article), some just look like Latin translations of English names, and some look like jokes inserted by anonymous users ("Backdoor trauma", "Chumble fever", "Fist of Mercy", "Satan's fever") which don't appear to have any existence on the web apart from lists obviously taken from here. I am minded to start this list again, with just ones we can find an external source for - http://www.bmj.com/content/329/7460/272 is reliable. I've added an "unreferenced section" template. Can anyone find any other reliable sources? Peace Makes Plenty (talk) 18:53, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

I used the BMJ and a Time magazine citation, and removed anything not appearing in those 2, and removed the unreferenced section template. Peace Makes Plenty (talk) 08:38, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
