Numerous PCR-based assays have been developed for the identification of Brucella to
improve diagnostic capabilities. Collectively, the repertoire of assays addresses several …

Brucella species are responsible for brucellosis, one of the world's most widespread
zoonotic diseases causing abortion in domestic animals and a potentially debilitating …

DNA primers corresponding to conserved motifs in bacterial repetitive (REP, ERIC, and
BOX) elements and PCR were used to show that REP-, ERIC-, and BOX-like DNA …

Brucellosis is an important zoonosis and a significant cause of reproductive losses in
animals. Abortion, placentitis, epididymitis, and orchitis are the most common clinical …

Human brucellosis is still the most common bacterial zoonosis worldwide. Neither well-
known molecular tools nor the classical biotyping methods are satisfactory for subtyping of …

Brucellosis is caused by Brucella spp. which is composed of eight terrestrial species and at
least two marine species. Terrestrial Brucella spp. include B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis …

Selected segments of any DNA molecule can be amplified exponentially by PCR. This
technique provides a powerful tool to detect and identify minimal numbers of …

A number of recent reports have described the isolation and characterization of Brucella
strains from a wide variety of marine mammals such as seals, porpoises, dolphins and a …

As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the
literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these …

Seventy-seven Brucella reference and field strains from different geographic origins and
hosts representing the six recognized species and their different biovars were analysed for …
