''Brucella abortus'' is a bacteria, commonly associated with livestock such as cattle, that infects the reproductive tract. It causes abortions and stillbirths in females and reduced reproductive capacity in males. It is also a zoonotic disease, meaning that it can be passed from animals to humans and infect humans. In humans, brucellosis is commonly called undulant fever because it has a cycle of high fever - normal - high fever. In the United States ''B. abortus'' has been eradicated from the commercial cattle population, but it is still present in the bison of the Greater Yellowstone Area.

Should Brucella abortus antigen and Brucella melitensis antigen both be used to test for brucella?
Because of the cross-reaction of the LPS (Lipo poly Saccharide) of Brucella abortus. B. militensis and B. suis, only one antigen is used for serological diagnosis. Virtually all agglutination tests use the B. abortus antigen. There is no need to test with B. militensis.

Can a person die from the disease of Brucellas?
You mean Brucellosis. It is a serious and debilitating illness which usually responds well to antibiotics, and recovery takes months or even years. In exceptionally rare cases, some strains can be fatal, but the patient would probably have another underlying health problem for that to happen. The strains that mostly affect humans are Brucella Abortus which comes from cattle and Brucella Melitensis which comes from goats. People at risk are those who work in abattoirs where cattle or goats are slaughtered, veterinarians, people in contact with freshly slaughtered animals. That is one way. The most common way of getting Brucellosis is through unpasteurised dairy produce such as milk, cream, yoghurt, cheese, ice cream made from milk which has not been pasteurised.
Dangers of brucella on newly married bride?
Brucella is generally contracted from animals or animal products (milk etc) rather than other people. It can be treated with antibiotics and a man of marriable age (young fit and otherwise healthy) is likely to recover quickly from infection especially if treated with antibiotics. If a new wife does catch the organism and gets pregnant quickly after the marrage there are chances of complications as the brucella can pass from the mother to the unborn child these range from loosing the baby, baby coming too early to endometriosis in mum after the birth. I would get married but I would then wait until the husband is brucella free and then a further 8 weeks have passed before starting a family. Brucella is especialy risky for baby in early pregnancy. Wait to start a family, using contraception for 3-6 months is far better than loosing a baby and it might be fun "practicing".
