Introduction: Brucellosis is one of the most important infectious diseases worldwide, affecting both human health and the livestock economy. Also known as Malta fever, brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella, which can be transmitted between humans and animals. It remains endemic in several regions, particularly in Western Asia, Central Asia, North Africa, and South Asia. Although the disease is generally associated with a low mortality rate, it imposes a considerable burden due to its chronic complications, long-term treatment costs, and significant economic impact.
Methods: This review focused on scientific articles published between 2024 and 2025. A comprehensive search was conducted in the databases PubMed, ScienceDirect (Elsevier), SpringerLink, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar. The search strategy included key terms such as brucellosis, antibiotics, prevention, chronic complications, and PCR.
Results: Overall, this review demonstrates that, despite considerable progress in the fields of diagnosis and treatment, significant scientific and practical gaps remain. In particular, the integration of advanced molecular technologies with preventive and educational interventions could play a crucial role in reducing the global burden of brucellosis and improving both human and animal health.
Conclusion: Overall, a comprehensive understanding of transmission pathways, diagnostic approaches, and novel therapeutic interventions is essential for reducing the global burden of brucellosis and improving human and animal health. "This review highlights the urgent need for integrating molecular diagnostics, novel therapeutic approaches, and sustainable prevention programs into global health strategies to effectively tackle brucellosis."
