Brucella surveillance in marine mammalsstranded on the English Channel French coastline from 1995 to nowadays : epidemiological and pathological study
Brucellosis, an important zoonosis, can have serious consequences on human and animal health. Since the first cases of brucellosis detected in stranded cetaceans and seals in 1994, a large number of Brucella ceti and B. pinnipedialis have been reported, mostly in the North-East Atlantic coastline.
