Brucellosis is a *bacterial* infection caused by bacteria of the *Brucella* genus. It is a *zoonotic disease*, meaning it spreads from animals to humans, primarily affecting those in contact with infected livestock or consuming unpasteurized dairy products, especially in regions with endemic animal brucellosis.

Brucellosis, historically known as Malta fever or Mediterranean fever, was first clearly described among British soldiers on Malta in the mid-19th century. In 1887, Scottish physician *Sir David Bruce* isolated the causative bacterium, later named *Brucella melitensis*, highlighting its link to contaminated goat milk and its zoonotic nature.
Brucellosis primarily spreads from infected animals (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs) to humans. The main routes include *consuming unpasteurized dairy products* or undercooked meat from infected animals. Direct contact with infected animal tissues, fluids (e.g., during slaughter, veterinary work), or inhalation of aerosols in contaminated environments are also significant pathways. Human-to-human transmission is extremely rare.
