Studies on the economic production losses of
bovine brucellosis are reasonably consistent across a range of production systems in Africa and Asia (13).
Epidemiology and management of a
bovine brucellosis cluster in Northern Ireland.
Sources of infection for transmission of
bovine brucellosis are aborted fetuses, fetal membranes after birth, vaginal discharges and milk from infected animals (Tolosa et al., 2010 and Geresu et al., 2016).
The stimulatory effects of levamisole on macrophages may be particularly important because Brucella species tend to be an intracellular pathogen and macrophages are thought to be important in host defense in
bovine brucellosis. [26] The positive effect of levamisole given on day 7 may be due to the fact that helper cells function is maximal at that time.
