Abstract: The domestication of water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) originated in India and China and spread throughout the world and represents an important source of food of high biological value. Given the importance and relevance of brucellosis for buffalo production, this article reviews the history, etiopathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical signs, anatomopathological findings, diagnosis and control of the disease, focusing on data from studies on water buffaloes performed in different countries and the Brazilian Amazo… Show more

“…The case was reported to the Department of Veterinary Services, Malaysia as the disease diagnosed is a reportable disease to the authority for further screening and prevention strategy to be implemented in the affected farm. According to Sousa et al (2017), brucellosis has been officially eradicated in some countries, yet the disease is still endemic in Malaysia. For that reason, the Malaysian authorities have introduced the test-and-slaughter policy in an attempt to control and eradicate brucellosis which was reported in the current case study.…”

“…The clinical sign of enlarged scrotum demonstrated in the case report was in accord with Khan and Line (2005). Sousa et al (2017), stated that the Brucella organism has a strong tropism for the reproductive systems. The buffalo bull may get infected via the oral, nasopharyngeal, conjunctival mucosa or broken skin before spreading to the lymph nodes and finally the testicles.…”

“…A recent study described the difficulty in controlling brucellosis in buffaloes within the Amazon biome and showed that vaccination is not efficient in preventing the disease in this region (Sousa et al, 2017). Therefore, it is very important to assess all the characteristics of brucellosis epidemiology in cattle and buffaloes to implement an efficient control program in the region.…”

“…Although the infection begins in the oral, nasopharyngeal, and mucosal regions of the conjunctiva and throughout the skin, the bacteria are transported by macrophages to the lymph nodes, where they can reproduce (Sousa et al, 2015a). The bacteria can then spread to other lymph nodes, mammary glands, and other organs containing many phagocytic mononuclear cells (Sousa et al, 2017). Brucella spp.…”
