Brucellosis due to Brucella abortus – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/51993663

Brucella abortus which is most brucellosis in cattle is the most widespread cause of infection, but associated with much less human disease. Infection in human is often sub-clinical and, where disease does occur, it is usually less severe than that caused by B. melitensis or B. suis. Cattle are by far the most common source of B. abortus.
