Studies regarding Stenella coeruleoalba on Costa Rican Pacific coast have shown a high prevalence of meningoencephalitis among the dolphins. Additionally, antibodies directed to Brucella organisms, especially B. ceti, were highly eminent in the cerebrospinal fluid of marine animals (Hernández-Mora et al 1430). The striped dolphin is a highly susceptible host of the bacteria and poses and the most potent reservoir and source of transmission of the infectious agent. Isolation of B. ceti from body fluids of dolphins such as fetal tissues and milk in pregnant marines defines conclusions that the organism is tropic to fetal tissues and placental materials. In this regard, the transmission may take either the vertical form or horizontal to other susceptible marines.
