Yet, as is also true of other bacterial and viral diseases, brucellosis has since become a well-recognized series of manifestations which aptly illustrate the precept that the animal may serve as a reservoir for the dissemination of disease to man. While it may be an imprudent, if not precarious, gesture to attempt prognostication, the contingency nevertheless seems not too remote that medicine...References1.
