Brucellosis: Consideration of Its Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Control

Abstract
The authors present a study of milk-borne brucellosis based on an investigation of 2 cases caused by Brucella abortus and on an epidemic in which B. suis was the inciting agent. A discussion is given of the results of agglutination tests and skin tests on the individuals involved. The value of agglutination and skin testing and of the opsonocytophagic test is given along with an outline of the diagnosis, control, and prevention of this disease.
