| infection with brucella melitensis apparently acquired in the united kingdom. | a patient with brucella melitensis presented to a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases. she had unusual clinical signs including polyarthropathy and a tender enlarged spleen. her disease was apparently acquired in the united kingdom. the clinical features and immunological aspects of brucellosis are discussed. | 1984 | 6542121 |
| a note on adult sheep vaccination with reduced dose of brucella melitensis rev 1. | this work describes results obtained by vaccinating pregnant ewes from a brucella melitensis-infected flock, with 5 x 10(8) cfu (half dose) rev 1. only five abortions were recorded after vaccinating 600 pregnant ewes. the serological response was followed by rose bengal, complement fixation and radial immunodiffusion tests. a short-termed, low humoral immunoresponse was produced. the radial immunodiffusion test could be more useful than the other tests for differentiating infected from vaccinate ... | 1984 | 6529126 |
| control of ovine brucellosis in najdi sheep in saudi arabia. | a practical programme for control of ovine brucellosis in a najdi sheep flock at haradh and protection of sheep handlers from infection was implemented. haradh sheep were serologically tested three times at six-month intervals. of 2,721 sheep subjected to the first tests, 387 (14.2%) were positive reactors. at the second test 2,072 sheep were tested and 31 (1.5%) were positive. the third test was performed on 2,963 sheep and only nine (0.3%) positive reactors were found. of eight sheep handlers ... | 1984 | 6523581 |

| lymphocyte bacterial rosette test: methodological details and effect of metabolic inhibitors and divalent cations. | lymphocytes bind certain bacteria. this property has been utilized in the lymphocyte bacterial rosette assay to identify t and b cell subsets. here we determined the optimum conditions for the assay, studied the effect of metabolic inhibitors and divalent cations and compared bacterial rosette-forming lymphocyte subpopulations with those defined with monoclonal antibodies. the strains used were brucella melitensis, bacillus subtilis, staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli. optimum attachment ... | 1984 | 6440915 |
| brucellosis in a farming community in saudi arabia. | this communication describes a study of the prevalence of brucellosis in a farming community of saudi arabia. standard agglutination tests of sera from 21 patients were tested for brucella abortus and brucella melitensis. the results show that 8 (38%) were positive with titres of 160 or over 20 480 and with titre of complement fixation tests ranging from 8 to 64. agglutination titres of 20 to 40 were present in only 3 cases. those patients with positive agglutination titre of 160 or higher admit ... | 1984 | 6436116 |
| evaluation of a radial immunodiffusion test for diagnosing brucellosis in sheep and its possible value for differentiating infected from brucella melitensis rev 1 vaccinated sheep. | the efficiency of 4 serological test: rose bengal (rb), complement fixation (cf), gel diffusion (gd) and radial immunodiffusion (rid) for diagnosing brucellosis in sheep was compared. rid and cf were also used to evaluate sheep serological response following rev 1 vaccination. crude smooth lipopolysaccharide (lps-s) and polysaccharide b antigens obtained from b. melitensis 16 m were used in gd and rid tests respectively. in experiment 1, two hundred and sixty five sera from adult unvaccinated sh ... | 1984 | 6436109 |
| immunochemical characterization of rough brucella lipopolysaccharides. | lipopolysaccharides (lps) were extracted from rough strains of brucella abortus and brucella melitensis and from strains of the naturally occurring rough species brucella ovis and brucella canis. brucella rough lipopolysaccharides (r-lps) were readily distinguished from brucella smooth lipopolysaccharides (s-lps) and enterobacterial r-lps, by their chemical, physical, and serological characteristics. b. ovis r-lps was differentiated from b. abortus, b. melitensis, and b. canis r-lps by its react ... | 1984 | 6421737 |
| comparison of phenol- and heat-killed antigens in the indirect immunofluorescence test for serodiagnosis of legionella pneumophila group 1 infections. | an antigen prepared with agar-grown legionella pneumophila group 1 killed by 0.5% phenol and suspended in 0.5% yolk sac was examined for use in the indirect immunofluorescence test for legionellosis and compared with a heat-killed antigen. the serological results of the two antigens for single and paired sera agreed well. morphological and staining characteristics were better for phenol-treated organisms. electron microscopy observation showed an apparently well-preserved cell surface. the backg ... | 1984 | 6386881 |

| the use of mutants of escherichia coli for the identification of human lymphocyte subpopulations in blood smears. | in previous work we have shown that some bacteria can bind to human lymphocytes and can be used to identify lymphocyte subpopulations in conventionally stained blood smears. these bacteria are of different species or genera, which makes it difficult to study the binding mechanism. also, the main marker for b cells, brucella melitensis, is of very small size and highly pathogenic. here we show that b cells as well as some of the t cell subpopulations can be identified by different mutants obtaine ... | 1983 | 6350450 |
| serological response of cattle, sheep and goats in kenya vaccinated with killed brucella melitensis strain h38 adjuvant vaccine. | the antibody responses of cattle, sheep and goats to the brucella melitensis h38 adjuvant vaccine were monitored by serum (tube) agglutination, complement fixation and rose bengal plate tests. high and persisting antibody titres were induced by a single dose of this vaccine in all three species. it would be difficult to classify reactors by commonly used diagnostic tests in a control or an eradication programme using the h38 adjuvant vaccine. | 1983 | 6346660 |
| [brucellosis: a varied clinical presentation in 9 patients]. | from 1973 to 1983 nine cases of brucella melitensis infection were hospitalised at the centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (chuv), lausanne. in each case, the infection was acquired in a mediterranean country (4 cases in italy, 2 in spain, 2 in portugal and 1 in greece). in 6 of the cases the disease was acquired by ingestion of dairy products and in 2 cases by direct animal contact. despite classical initial symptomatology (fever, rigors, weakness), the time from first symptoms to diagnosi ... | 1984 | 6335295 |
| [brucella melitensis endocarditis. clinical and immunological features (author's transl)]. | five cases of brucella melitensis endocarditis are reported. common features included subacute course, enhanced humoral immunity, and deficient cellular immunity. appropriate antibiotic therapy led to recovery in all cases. in two patients, valvular replacement was necessary. | 1982 | 6277006 |
| non-specific stimulation of human b lymphocytes by a brucella fraction. | pi, a lipid a-free fraction (15) extracted from the cell wall of brucella melitensis type i m.15 behaves as a non specific mitogen and a polyclonal b-cell activator (pba) for human unsensitized lymphocytes from subjects with no previous history and no biological stigmata of brucellosis. both effects may be evidenced, indifferently, in cultures of peripheral blood, tonsils or cord blood lymphocytes. mitogenicity, estimated by the incorporation of tritiated thymidine is maximal on the 5th and 6th ... | 1984 | 6208072 |
