1. What are the diagnostic assays that can be used to diagnose the disease?
2. What type of immunity is the most important in the clearance of the infectious agent (ie: cellular-mediated vs. humoral immunity)? Please justify your answer.
3. What are the immunological-based strategies such as in vaccination that can be employed against this disease? How effective is vaccination in controlling the disease?]]> 2017-10-18 16:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nurshafiqaismyname/G9Brucellosis/wish/198321749 Diagnosis nurshafiqaismyname https://padlet.com/nurshafiqaismyname/G9Brucellosis/wish/200018157 solation of the organism is the most reliable method. An agglutina-tion test can be used to detect antibodies. Immunological staining, or the use of molecular probes, are precise techniques which can be used to detect the presence of organisms in tissues. ]]> 2017-10-24 14:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nurshafiqaismyname/G9Brucellosis/wish/200018157 Resistance nurshafiqaismyname https://padlet.com/nurshafiqaismyname/G9Brucellosis/wish/200018930 B. abortus is resistant to intracellular destruction. 
It can survive and multiply inside normal macrophages. 
- resistant cell wall
- can prevent lysosomes from fusing with the phagosome
- blocks phagosome-lysosome fusion
- bacteria are never exposed to lysosomal enzymes
The Iysosomes remain distributed in the cytoplasm and bacteria continue to grow within phagosome inside the macrophages. 
As a result, antibodies are ineffective against these organisms, and the bacteria are distributed throughout the body inside macrophages. 
The macrophages ultimately rupture as a result of the expanding physical bulk of the growing bacteria. 
Protection a gainst this type of infection develops a s a result of macrophage activation following stimulation of Th1 helper cells. 
This activation is caused by the Th1 cytokines -interferon-gamma and interleukin-2. 
Interferon-gamma is the most potent macrophage-activating agent]]> 2017-10-24 14:49:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nurshafiqaismyname/G9Brucellosis/wish/200018930 Development of Response nurshafiqaismyname https://padlet.com/nurshafiqaismyname/G9Brucellosis/wish/200022462 Type1 (Th1) cellular immune. The development of this response is under the control of major cytokines like TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-12 produced at the onset of infection

Presently, the vaccination programs are based on control of brucellosis mainly due to B. melitensis and B. abortus.

There are a lot of explanation about different kind of vaccines and how each type interacts with the immune system.

1.
B. abortus RB51 is a strain of this bacterium developed specifically for immunization of cattle against brucellosis. B. abortus strain RB51 is a rough rifampicin-resistant strain, which exhibited a lack of expression of the LPS O-side chains (OPS) [59].

2.
Brucella abortus S19 for cattle. Strain 19 is a live attenuated vaccine and the first B. abortus vaccine to be used extensively for bovine brucellosis control [47].

3.
45/20 vaccine is prepared with heat-killed B. abortus biovar 1 strain 45/20 combined with oil adjuvant [77]. The 45/20 is a rough B. abortus, derived of smooth strain 45/0 after 20 passages through guinea pigs [78]. This bacterin was used in some European Union countries for B. abortus control replacing S19, in order to eliminate the problems related to the induction of antibodies interfering in the routine diagnosis of infection [5]. However, data of experimental efficacy and immunologic response are contradictory and mostly show the superiority of vaccination with S19 [79,80].

4.
The SR82 strain is a B. abortus biovar 6 live attenuated vaccine used since 1974 by the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) for bovine brucellosis control [82]. This vaccine agglutinates in both rough and smooth anti-sera, but does not induce positive response in brucellosis agglutination tests [82,83]. Moreover, SR82 induced protection level similar to S19, after challenge with virulent B. abortus, and it has been shown to be effective under field conditions [82,83]. Currently the SR82 strain is still massively used in the Russian Federation, Azerbaijan, Tejikistan and other countries in the region [82].

But Brucella abortus S19 and RB51 strains are the most common vaccine used worldwide.
