“…Although few B. melitensis isolates were from Russia, they are genetically similar to Chinese strains [42], and these strains had high homogeneity [43]. India harbours the largest ruminant populations and there are high seroprevalence estimates of brucellosis in livestock and humans [44]. Importantly, the absence of a clear differentiation according to territorial affiliation between these regions indicates the frequent penetration of the B. melitensis strains from one country to another [43], and active trade based on the ancient Silk Road, Tea Horse Road and Trans-Eurasia exchange among these nearby regions could have promoted this process.…”

“…Damage caused by the disease in individuals' quality of life is intangible and the economic losses attributed to the infection in humans are associated to the costs of hospital treatment, drugs and absence from work due to disabling feature of the disease in its severe form [6]. These damages are more intense in groups frequently exposed to microorganisms of the genus Brucella: the Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY), a metric that quantifies the burden of mortality and morbidity caused by a disease, were found to be 0.13 [95% uncertainty interval (UI) 0.06-0.18] per thousand persons per year in non-occupational adult and 0.29 [95% UI; 0.08-0.70] per thousand persons per year in occupational population (farmers, abattoir workers and veterinarians) for human brucellosis in India [10], in which one DALY can be thought of as one lost year of "healthy" life.…”

“…This infection has an extremely emerging and significant reemerging potentials in numerous countries. In addition, it is the major cause of direct financial losses due to the major hindrance for international trade of milk, meat, and their products (3,4). The transmission occurs through ingestion of contaminated milk or meat and from mothers to breastfed babies.…”
