AB Brucellosis  is  a  bacterial  zoonosis  transmitted  directly  or  indirectly  to  humans  from  infected  animals,  predominantly  domesticated  ruminants  and  swine.  The  disease  is  known  colloquially  as  undulant  fever  because  of  its  remittent  character.  Although  brucellosis  commonly  presents  as  an  acute  febrile  illness,  its  clinical  manifestations  vary  widely,  and  definitive  signs  indicative  of  the  diagnosis  may  be  lacking.  Thus  the  clinical  diagnosis  usually  must  be  supported  by  the  results  of  bacteriologic  and/or  serologic  tests.
