T1 - Brucella ceti Infection in Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2010 VL - 16 IS - 12 SP - 1966 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We describe Brucella sp. infection and associated lesions in a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) found on the coast of Belgium. The infection was diagnosed by immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, and bacteriology, and the organism was identified as B. ceti. The infection’s location in the porpoise raises questions of abortion and zoonotic risks.
