Symptoms The incubation period (i.e. the time between infection and outbreak) of brucellosis can vary considerably. It can range from 5 days to several months and years. However, it is important to know that patients can be contagious for others during the entire incubation period. Brucellosis can be reflected in many different symptoms. In 90% … Symptoms | Brucellosis
Prophylaxis/Prevention There is no special vaccination to prevent brucellosis in humans. Therefore, the prevention of transmission plays an important role. In Germany, all animals are officially brucellosis-free according to the so-called Brucellosis Ordinance. However, this does not apply to many other countries (especially in the Mediterranean region). Therefore, the consumption of raw meat or non-pasteurised … Prophylaxis/Prevention | Brucellosis
