Brucella ovis is a Gram-negative coccobacillus from the Brucellaceae family.

Along with Brucella melitensis, it is responsible for causing ovine brucellosis, which is a notifiable disease.

B. ovis can be transmitted by the stable fly.

Infection causes severe inflammation of the epididymis, particularly the tail.
