Figures & data

Figure 1. Transmission of Brucellosis. Pregnant cows usually abort in the last trimester of pregnancy. Aborted fetus, placenta, and secretion from uterus act as the source of infection to other animals. Milk and milk products can act as source of infection to man, if consumed unpasteurized. Infected bulls serve as the lifelong source of infection.
