As far as I have understood, this text refers to Brucella canis as an eukaryotic organism, which is definitely wrong. Also the chances of mutation is highly speculative and deserves further attention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.183.0.16 (talk) 12:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bacteria are prokaryotic by definition and since there are no citations in the article I will delete that sentence, tbh the article could probably do with deleting anyway, the information could be incorporated into the main article for this genus. Comrinec (talk) 23:29, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Evaluation of article and information provided

I think that your article was very well written. It provided very clear facts with reliable sources and it clearly explained and answered all of the questions that was asked of us for this project.

There are a couple grammar things that I would fix:

1. "Firstly" changed to "first"

2. I would use a different word besides "face" for the females having a possible abortion or the male developing said symptoms.

3. I would also list the symptoms as "including, but not limited to..."

As far as the setup of your article goes, I think that it flowed nicely and had clear subjects put together in certain paragraphs. I think that the most important thing you could do for this article is to fix the grammar mistakes.

I noticed in your article that you created links with certain words that could link to another article to explain their meaning. That is something that I didn't do in mine, but that I'm definitely going to change. Great job!Llahaye (talk) 01:40, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ecology

There were problems with the recently added Ecology section. This "Brucella, including B. canis are obligate organisms, meaning they live intracellularly and do not ordinarily colonize outside of their host. While this is true, in very specific temperature and moisture levels Brucella can grow colonies in soil and surface water for extended time periods. These organisms exist in most regions around the world" was inaccurate in that the bacteria survive but do not grow. And the wording was a little too close to page 379 of Bergey's manual. There was also redundancy "While this is true" and incorrect grammar "outside of". ("Outside" as used here is a preposition, so it is just "outside their hosts". The citation used was from 1989, which is rather old. I have added this, which is accurate and is supported by a recent paper.

"Under natural conditions Brucella spp, including B. canis are obligate parasites and do not grow outside the host except in laboratory cultures. At specific temperature and moisture levels Brucella can persist in soil and surface water up to 80 days and in frozen conditions they can survive for months.Xue S, Biondi EG (July 2019).
