• Brucella suis brucellosis outbreak in Wallis and Futuna
  Against the backdrop of dengue fever and leptospirosis outbreaks, a third febrile syndrome with an insidious onset appeared on the island of Wallis in April 2004. Four cases of acute or sub-acute human brucellosis were diagnosed. All the patients were grouped geographically in the north of the island (Hihifo district). Up to now, human brucellosis has been endemic in Wallis and Futuna (one probable case a year) but the bacteria had never been isolated, as diagnosis was mainly clinical and serological. For these four cases, three were confirmed bacteriologically, through identification and typing of the strain involved, i.e. Brucella suis biovar 1, thereby making it possible to identify the animal species responsible, i.e. pigs.
