AB Brucellosis,  a  bacterial  zoonotic  disease  that  affects  humans,  domesticated  livestock  and  wildlife,  is  considered  one  of  the  most  common  and  economically  important  zoonoses  globally.  Brucellosis  infection  in  humans,  also  known  as  undulant  fever,  Mediterranean  fever  or  Malta  fever,  is  a  debilitating  disease  that  occurs  from  exposure  to  infected  animals  or  contaminated  animal  products  such  as  unpasteurized  milk  or  dairy  products.  The  disease  is  misdiagnosed  often  due  to  the  resemblance  with  other  acute  febrile  illnesses.
