A novel <i>Brucella</i> isolate in association with two cases of stillbirth in non‐human primates – first report

Abstract

The described cases are to the best of our knowledge the first presentation of a naturally acquired Brucella infection in non-human primates associated with stillbirths from the same colony where Brucella seropositivity in the baboons was described 45 years ago. The organism appears to represent a previously undescribed Brucella species.
