Histopathology and immunohistochemistry assessments of acute experimental infection by Brucella melitensis in bucks

Brucellosis in male goats is characterized by arthritis, orchitis and epididymitis, which may induce infertility. Nevertheless, these lesions were categorized as chronic while acute lesions had not been described. This study investigates the histopathological and immuno histochemistry reactions in o...
