Molecular epidemiology of Brucella species in mixed livestock-human ecosystems in Kenya

Molecular epidemiology of Brucella species in mixed livestock-human ecosystems in Kenya

Abstract Brucellosis, caused by several species of the genus Brucella, is a zoonotic disease that affects humans and animal species worldwide. Information on the Brucella species circulating in different hosts in Kenya is largely unknown, thus limiting the adoption of targeted control strategies. Th...
