Download or read book Neurobrucellosis written by Mehmet Turgut and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth review of knowledge of neurobrucellosis, which remains common despite significant improvements in preventive measures, neuroradiological techniques, and treatment methods. The chapters are organized into five sections, the first three of which address cranial and intracranial brucellosis, spinal brucellosis, and brucellosis of the peripheral portions of the nervous system. The fourth section focuses on laboratory studies in neurobrucellosis, and the closing section is devoted to therapy, encompassing both medical approaches and the surgical procedures used to treat the complications associated with brucellosis involving the spine, brain, and peripheral nerves. Despite the impressive efforts to eradicate the disease, brucellosis still poses a great threat in the Mediterranean Basin, where it originated, as well as in South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Africa. Written and edited by leading international authorities in the field, this comprehensive book will be an ideal up-to-date reference for neurosurgeons, neurologists, and specialists in infectious disease who are seeking either basic or more advanced information on the disease and its diagnosis and treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brucellosis is a major zoonotic disease that may cause a serious illness in humans and animals. Global prevalence of human brucellosis remains significant. More than half a million new brucellosis cases from 100 countries are reported annually to the World Health Organization (WHO). The majority of these cases are reported in developing countries.In humans, brucellosis (undulant fever, Malta fever) is characterized by an acute bacteremic phase followed by a chronic stage that may extend over many years and may involve many tissues. It is a systemic disease, and many organ systems (nervous system, heart, skeletal system, bone marrow, etc.) may become involved following hematogenous dissemination. Although eradicated in some countries, it remains one of the most economically important zoonosis worldwide as it is responsible for huge economic losses as well as significant human morbidity in endemic areas. Because of the nonspecific clinical manifestations of human brucellosis and the need for prolonged combination therapy with antibiotics that are not routinely prescribed for other infectious diseases, laboratory confirmation of the diagnosis is of paramount importance for adequate patient management. In addition, evidence of brucellosis has serious public health implications because it discloses exposure to a contaminated source (infected animals or their products, unsafe laboratory practices, or a potential biological warfare attack). This book addresses human brucellosis with stress on symptoms including those related to the less recognized disease localizations, risk of exposure, treatment, and prevention. Light is shed on animal brucellosis as it pertains to human exposure. The book also emphasizes on laboratory procedures in culturing and serologic techniques. Epidemiologic surveillance is among this books subjects as well as veterinary control measures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brucella is a genus of Gram-negative, facultative, intracellular bacteria that are highly pathogenic for a variety of mammals, including humans. Recently, the World Health Organization cited brucellosis to be the world's most widespread zoonosis. An important feature of the pathogenicity of these organisms is their ability to survive and replicate within the host macrophages. However, the mechanism for this is unclear. In addition, none of the classical bacterial virulence factors found in other bacterial pathogens have been found in the genomes of the 40 Brucella species and biovars analyzed to date. Nevertheless, the application of systems biology approaches in recent years has transformed research, permitting fascinating new insights into Brucella molecular biology and genomics. Written by highly acclaimed Brucella scientists, this book comprehensively reviews the most important advances in the field. The opening chapters focus on genetic diversity within Brucella, covering both classical and new species. Particular emphasis is given to how comparative genomics has led to advances in molecular diagnostics, taxonomy, and phylogeny. Additional chapters cover proteomic analysis, transcriptomic analysis, the VirB type IV secretion system, signaling complexes - e.g. the BvrR/BvrS two-component regulatory system and quorum sensing. These chapters highlight the intricate interplay between factors involved in virulence. Another chapter discusses the role of the Brucella cell envelope in bacterial virulence and evasion of host defenses, and the final two chapters review the current strategies for the development of novel antibacterial agents and improved vaccines. This volume is essential reading for everyone with an interest in Brucella and brucellosis. It is also recommended for cellular microbiologists and immunologists, and vaccine development scientists, as well as a wider body of scientists, veterinarians, and MDs with an interest in microbial diagnostics, microbial pathogenesis, and host-parasite interactions.

Download or read book Discovery and Evaluation of Immunogenic Antigens for Bovine Brucellosis Serodiagnostics written by Riley Jacob Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brucella spp. are zoonotic infectious agents, primarily of livestock, that cause the disease brucellosis. Bovine brucellosis, caused by Brucella abortus, is of greatest concern due to the disease's significant economical and public health impact. Canada fully eradicated bovine brucellosis from domesticated cattle herds in 1985, however, continued surveillance through screening for B. abortus exposure is paramount to the maintenance of bovine brucellosis eradication nationwide. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is responsible for the surveillance of bovine brucellosis outbreaks in Canada and the maintenance of eradication. Current B. abortus serodiagnostics and serological screening is mostly based on the detection of antibodies against Brucella lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a highly immunogenic component of the outer cellular membrane. Such tests face difficulties with false positive results due to cross reactivity with other Gram-negative bacteria that produce LPS. The purpose of the research presented here was to address this issue through identifying new B. abortus protein antigens for the improvement of serological test specificity. In this study, 101 candidates were identified through predictive bioinformatic analyses and selected for immunogenic evaluation. While none of the expressed candidates displayed positive serological activity with in-house brucellosis positive bovine serum panels, the workflow presented here can be used for continued research and the assessment of more proteins from B. abortus and other bacterial pathogens.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Test-and-slaughter Program & Comparison of Bacteriologic and Serologic Tests for Brucellosis in Elk written by Laura L. Meadows and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brucella abortus, the causative agent of bovine brucellosis, has been nearly eliminated from cattle in the United States through a federal-state eradication program that began in 1930s. However, the disease remains endemic in free-ranging elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) and bison (Bison bison) in the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Annual brucellosis seroprevalence in adult female elk averages 22% on Wyoming's winter feedgrounds within the GYA. Feedgrounds concentrate animals during the peak period of transmission of brucellosis (late winter and early spring) posing a transmission risk to cattle or sympatric wildlife that winter near these feedgrounds. In an attempt to reduce seroprevalence in elk, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department implemented a five-year pilot Test-and-Slaughter program focused on the Pinedale Elk Herd Unit with the primary objective to achieve a statistically significant reduction in brucellosis seroprevalence on the target feedground. A significant decrease in seroprevalence was documented on Muddy Creek Feedground, the target feedground, from 35.9% in 2006 to 7.0% in 2009. This program was effective in reducing brucellosis seroprevalence in feedground elk of this herd unit and holds promise as a large-scale disease control tool, however it was costly, labor intensive, and resulted in the slaughter of several false positives. Presumptive and rapid diagnosis of brucellosis in elk was based on five serologic tests. A sixth test (complement fixation assay) is performed as an additional confirmatory test at a later date. The research presented here calculates the sensitivity and specificity of the six serologic tests and determines the battery of tests that most accurately identify truly infective elk as determined by bacteriologic culture. Sensitivity increased to 100% and specificity increased to 21.1% if the battery of tests was changed from the current scheme to modified scheme (card test = positive, SPT e"I200, rivanol e"I50, FPA e"110). The competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and compliment fixation test should be discontinued as they decrease specificity in all testing schemes investigated.
