Characterization of a novel intratracheal aerosol challenge model of <i>Brucella melitensis</i> in guinea pigs
2018-10-30
Abstract excerpt
B. melitensis is considered the most virulent of the Brucella species, and a need exists for an improved laboratory animal model of infection that mimics natural transmission and disease. Guinea pigs are highly susceptible to infection with Brucella spp. and develop a disease syndrome that mimics natural disease after aerosol inoculation. Intratracheal inoculation is a targeted means of generating aerosols that...
