Brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella, primarily affecting
livestock and transmissible to humans. The disease is characterized by fever, fatigue, and musculoskeletal pain,
often becoming chronic if left untreated. This short note explores the etiology of brucellosis, highlighting the major
causative agents such as Brucella abortus, Brucella melitensis, Brucella suis, and Brucella canis. Understanding the
reservoirs, modes of transmission, and species-specific characteristics is essential for effective diagnosis, control,
and prevention, particularly in agricultural and veterinary settings where the risk of exposure is highest.
