Abstract

Brucella spp. are zoonotic, facultative intracellular pathogens, which cause animal and human disease. Animal disease results in abortion of fetuses; in humans, it manifests flu-like symptoms with an undulant fever, with osteoarthritis as a common complication of infection. Antibiotic regimens for human brucellosis patients may last several months and are not always completely effective. While there are no vaccines for humans, several licensed live Brucella vaccines are available for use in livestock. The performance of these animal vaccines is dependent upon the host species, dose, and route of immunization. Newly engineered live vaccines, lacking well-defined virulence factors, retain low residual virulence, are highly protective, and may someday replace currently used animal vaccines. These also have possible human applications. Moreover, due to their enhanced safety and efficacy in animal models, subunit vaccines for brucellosis show great promise for their application in livestock and humans. This review summarizes the progress of brucellosis vaccine development and presents an overview of candidate vaccines.

Fig.1  The transmission chain of spp. among wildlife, livestock, and human. Livestock acquires the diseases from the natural reservoirs, such as bison, elk, and deer. Subsequently, humans are infected by the sick livestock and/or its products, either via inhalation of contaminated aerosol, ingestion of foods such as unpasteurized milk and cheese, or direct contact with the sick livestock and its contaminated products.
