Summary:

The Nature of Brucellosis was first published in 1956. Though the problems of brucellosis vary from one country to another and even within the same country, the disease is recognized as worldwide in scope. It is realized everywhere that brucellosis is primarily a disease of domestic animals and that the human illness cannot be reduced or eliminated as long as the animal reservoir remains. In this volume Dr. Spink, a world authority on the disease, presents a comprehensive review of human and animal brucellosis and the results of important new research.
