brucella melitensis

Brucellosis (Brucella melitensis)

Along with Brucella melitensis, it is responsible for causing Ovine Brucellosis, which is a notifiable disease.

He is credited with discovering the source of the deadly bacteriological infection known as Malta Fever (the microbe Brucella melitensis, which causes brucellosis).

These materials included anthrax, West Nile virus and botulism, as well as Brucella melitensis, and Clostridium perfringens.

The repeat regions and approximately 200-bp of upstream and downstream flanking sequence were individually compared to the Brucella melitensis biovar 1 and Brucella suis biovar 1 published genome sequences.

These include Bacillus anthracis (the causative agent of anthrax), Aspergillus fungal cultures producing the mycotoxin aflatoxin), Brucella melitensis (causing brucellosis), Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens, E. coli and Salmonella cholerae-suis.
