Brucellosis is a widespread zoonotic disease affecting humans, livestock and wildlife. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), about half a million people are infected each year, with prevalence in some regions reaching up to 10 per cent of the population.

The disease remains a major public health concern in many developing countries, especially where livestock play a central role in daily life and livelihoods.
