It is also known as undulant fever, Malta fever and Mediterranean fever. "Brucella" species are small, gram-negative, nonmotile, nonspore-forming, rod-shaped (coccobacilli) bacteria. They function as facultative intracellular parasites, causing chronic disease, which usually persists for life. Four species infect humans: "B. abortus", "B. canis", "B. melitensis", and "B. suis". "B. abortus" is less virulent than "B. melitensis" and is primarily a disease of cattle. "B. canis" affects dogs. "B. melitensis" is the most virulent and
Content Threat Removal Content Threat Removal Content Threat Removal (CTR) is a cyber security technology that defeats the threat posed by handling digital content in cyber space. Unlike other defences, including antivirus software and sandboxed execution, it does not rely on being able to detect threats. Similarly to Content Disarm and Reconstruction, CTR removes the threat without knowing whether it has done so, and acts without knowing if data contains a threat or not. Detection strategies work by detecting unsafe content, and then blocking or removing that content. Content that is deemed safe is delivered to its destination. In contrast, Content Threat Removal
