title: The history of brucellosis in Maryland and the District of Columbia.
abstract: The history of brucellosis began in Europe; however, a number of early studies and publications originated in medical centers in Maryland and the District of Columbia. As a result of efforts by researchers in these locales, physicians came to understand the transmission of the disease, and continued clinical investigations helped to develop significant therapeutic and preventive measures that have made brucellosis a rare disease in the United States.
