Brucella melitensis biovar 3 was isolated from a testicular hygroma in a ram from a nomadic flock of sheep and goats serologically positive for brucellosis and with a history of occasional abortions. The affected testis was enlarged, extensively damaged and contained fluid. The isolation of this biovar identifies the need for further investigations into the prevalence of brucellosis and the particular biovars involved in nomadic animals.
马尔他布鲁氏菌生物变种3是从一只公羊的睾丸水囊肿中分离出来的，该公羊来自一个游牧的绵羊和山羊群，该羊群布鲁氏菌病血清学检测呈阳性，并有偶尔流产的病史。受影响的睾丸肿大，受到广泛损伤且含有液体。这种生物变种的分离表明有必要进一步调查布鲁氏菌病的流行情况以及涉及游牧动物的特定生物变种。
