Brucellosis is a highly contagious bacterial illness that can quickly spread through livestock herds. As a zoonotic disease, it poses an additional threat to the health of humans, especially those who work in animal husbandry. Offering a global perspective and using the One Health approach, Brucellosis: The Silent Threat to Livestock and Human Health delves into the unique challenge of brucellosis, including its prevention, control, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment in both animals and humans.

Offering the first complete reference on brucellosis in decades, Brucellosis: The Silent Threat to Livestock and Human Health will shed light on this zoonotic illness, offering insight into prevention and control in herds, as well as communities when it spreads to humans.
