Animal brucellosis is a significant public health concern, as it can spread to humans through contact with infected animals or their products. Human brucellosis can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, chills, sweats, muscle aches, headaches, and joint pain. In some cases, brucellosis can lead to serious complications, such as endocarditis (inflammation of the heart's lining) and meningitis (inflammation of the brain's lining).
