Infection of cattle caused by Brucella abortus (ie, bovine brucellosis) has been of political importance in the United States for many decades. The most common clinical manifestation of brucellosis in natural hosts is reproductive loss resulting from abortion, birth of weak offspring, or infertility. Brucellosis regulatory programs were primarily developed as the most efficient way to prevent human infections. This article discusses cattle vaccination with B abortus strains 19 and RB51. Other reservoir hosts for this organism and other Brucella spp in cattle have also been visited.
牛布鲁氏菌（即牛布鲁氏菌病）感染几十年来一直是美国政治关注的问题。在天然宿主中，布鲁氏菌病最常见的临床表现是流产导致的生殖损失、弱胎或不孕。布鲁氏菌病监管计划主要是作为预防人类感染的最有效方法而制定的。本文讨论了用 B abortus 菌株 19 和 RB51 对牛进行疫苗接种。还提到了这种病原体的其他储存宿主以及牛中的其他布鲁氏菌属。
