A Cellular Model of Infection with Brucella melitensis in Ovine Macrophages: Novel Insights for Intracellular Bacterial Detection
Intracellular bacteria provoking zoonoses, such as those of the genus Brucella, present a host cell tropism mostly limited to the monocyte/macrophage lineage, leading to chronic inflammatory reactions, difficult-to-eradicate-infections, and widespread prevalence among ruminants.Eradication of brucellosis has been based on programs that translate in
