Some vaccines used in livestock, most notably "B. abortus" strain 19, also cause disease in humans if accidentally injected. Brucellosis induces inconstant fevers, miscarriage, sweating, weakness, anaemia, headaches, depression, and muscular and bodily pain.

Brucellosis in Ireland". Ireland's Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine intends to reduce its brucellosis eradication programme now that eradication has been confirmed. Brucellosis in New Zealand is limited to sheep ("B. ovis"). The country is free of all other species of "Brucella". Dairy herds in the USA are tested at least once a year to be certified brucellosis-free. with the "Brucella" milk ring test. Cows confirmed to be infected are often killed. In the United States, veterinarians are required to vaccinate all young stock, to further reduce the chance of zoonotic transmission. This vaccination is usually referred to as
