This, in turn, can provide insight into the evolution of a brucellosis outbreak and how to prevent further spread of the disease.
The highest incidence of brucellosis is found in regions where local custom encourages the consumption of raw goat, camel or bovine milk, or of soft cheeses prepared from unpasteurized milk.
Most bovine brucellosis in the USA is caused by B. abortus biovar 1. For a typing method to be of value for epidemiological trace-back, it is essential to be able to subtype biovar 1 isolates.
LaBudde argues that testing and exclusion of infected cattle is one possibility--we already do it for a number of cattle-borne infections like brucellosis.
Published methods include enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence-PCR (ERIC-PCR), and repetitive intergenic palindromic sequence-PCR (REP-PCR) [ 2 3 ] ; random amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR (RAPD-PCR) or arbitrary primed-PCR (AP-PCR) [ 4 5 ] ; and restriction fragment length polymorphism-PCR (RFLP-PCR) of the omp 2 locus [ 6 7 ] . ERIC-PCR and RAPD-PCR are both affected by assay conditions and environmental effects during the amplification process [ 8 9 10 ] . Although the results are highly reproducible within a laboratory, laboratory-to-laboratory reproducibility has been problematic and thus makes the universal application of these methods unlikely (compare [ 2 ] and [ 3 ] ). RFLP-PCR of the omp 2 locus is not constrained by issues of reproducibility and has been useful for the differentiation of Brucella species [ 6 ] and for differentiation among isolates from marine mammal hosts [ 7 ] . However, as a tool for the epidemiology of brucellosis in livestock, this technique is limited by the low rate of natural sequence divergence within the locus at the biovar level.
