| epidemiology and control of brucellosis in china. | the paper describes the history and evolvement of brucellosis in china. it presents the variation of epidemic situation, epidemiological characteristics, application of vaccines and control in brief. before 1980s, human and animal brucellosis was quite severe; during 1980s, the incidence of human and animal brucellosis was relatively low, and seemed to decrease during the decade. during 1990s, there were no obvious changes in the incidence of animal brucellosis, but the incidence of human brucel ... | 2002 | 12414142 |
| brucellosis in venezuela. | brucellosis is a public health problem in venezuela and affects large numbers of animals. the most important biovar in the country is brucella abortus. in cattle and buffalo it causes high rates of abortions in females and infertility in males; it is transmissible to occupationally exposed humans. in 1968, an official program was set up for the control and eradication of the disease and it is still in place. amongst the control provisions, this program provides for the vaccination of female calv ... | 2002 | 12414132 |
| fluorescence polarization assay for the diagnosis of brucellosis: a review. | fluorescence polarization assay (fpa) is based on the rotational differences between a small soluble antigen molecule in solution (labelled with a fluorochrome) and the antigen molecule complexed with its antibody. a small molecule will rotate randomly at a rapid rate, resulting in rapid depolarization of light, while a larger complex molecule will rotate slower and depolarize light at a reduced rate. the rate change in depolarization can be measured. the fpa is a homogeneous assay which does no ... | 2001 | 11506271 |

| properties of an immunogenic fraction from brucella abortus 45/20. | hot saline extracts of brucella abortus strain 45/20 contain up to 4 protein components. some of these components are shared with other brucella strains but one appears specific to b. abortus 45/20 or possibly other non-smooth brucella strains. the extracts are antigenic in guinea-pigs and evoke protective immunity against virulent b. abortus. the rough antigen specific activity appears to be associated with a protein component rather than lipopolysaccharide. | 1984 | 6436092 |
