Zusammenfassung:Historically, brucellosis from Brucella suis infection occurred among workers in swine slaughterhouses. Currently, swine-associated brucellosis illness in humans in the US is predominantly associated with exposure to infected feral swine. Here, Giurgiutiu et al investigate Brucella suis infection that possibly linked to feral swine hunts in three state health departments, namely: South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Florida. An editorial note is presented.
