Brucella is a pathogenic bacteria of cattle, sheep, pigs and other animals. Humans are very susceptible to brucella, and clinical manifestations are intermittent fever, so it is also called wave fever. After the illness, lectins, precipitins, opsonins, complement-binding antibodies, and blood antibodies appear in body fluids. Therefore, serological methods are often used for diagnosis.
