Brucella in this context generally refers to brucellosis, an infectious disease.
Brucellosis, also known as “undulant fever”, “Mediterranean fever” or “Malta fever”, is an infection of animal origin that occurs in humans through ingestion of infected animal products (e.g., unpasteurized dairy products) or contact with the tissues or body fluids of cows, sheep, goats, llamas, and pigs. It is an infection of animal origin that occurs in humans through ingestion of infected animal products (e.g., unpasteurized dairy products) or contact with tissues or body fluids from cattle, sheep, goats, camels, pigs, and other animals.
Preventive measures for brucellosis include not consuming raw milk, precautions for individuals at risk of occupational exposure, measures to prevent human-to-human transmission, and animal disease control. Skin mucous membranes should not come into contact with tissues (e.g., placenta or runoff) or body fluids from infected animals. Patients should not engage in unprotected sexual contact until after completion of treatment, and breastfeeding should be discontinued in nursing patients until treatment is completed.
If there is a history of any of the above exposures, it is recommended to visit a hospital promptly to avoid delays.
