brucellosis
Let an agent explain brucellosis in humans and animals, relay prevention, food safety and control information from health and veterinary authorities, describe epidemiology and notifiable status, and route personal medical or veterinary questions to professionals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain brucellosis in humans and animals, relay prevention, food safety and control information from health and veterinary authorities, describe epidemiology and notifiable status, and route personal medical or veterinary questions to professionals.
A bacterial zoonotic disease caused by Brucella species, transmitted to humans from infected animals through unpasteurised dairy products, direct contact or inhalation, and affecting cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs and other animals, with species including Brucella abortus, melitensis, suis and canis; brucellosis causes undulant fever, joint pain and chronic illness in humans and abortion and infertility in livestock, and is controlled by animal vaccination, testing, culling and food safety measures.
What it is for: Bacterial zoonosis caused by Brucella.
It can be explain the disease; relay prevention and control information; describe epidemiology; route personal questions.
