A study was performed in 2008 to estimate the prevalence of tuberculosis and brucellosis in traditionally reared cattle of Southern Province in Zambia in four districts. The single comparative intradermal tuberculin test (SCITT) was used to identify TB reactors, and the Rose Bengal test (RBT), followed by confirmation with competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (c-ELISA), was used to tes...

Background and Aim: Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by Brucella species. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with bovine brucellosis seropositivity in organized dairy farms control unvaccinated adult herds Karnataka, India. Materials Methods: In total, 3610 samples (3221 cattle 389 buffaloes) were subjected parallel testing using Rose Bengal plate test protein G...

Brucellosis is an occupational hazard of livestock farmers, dairy workers, veterinarians, slaughterhouse workers, and laboratory personnel, all of whom are considered to belong to the high-risk occupational group (HROG). A study was undertaken to determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis, identify risk factors associated with brucellosis seropositivity, and detect Brucella at genus level usin...

Background: Porcine brucellosis is a contagious and emerging zoonosis but neglected in most of the endemic countries including India. The disease pigs rarely reported due to non-availability diagnostics or major focus on bovine brucellosis. Hence, necessity was felt diagnose porcine by Monoclonal antibody based ELISA, RBPT STATS for detection anti-Brucella antibodies record spatial seroprevalen...

Background: Brucellosis is an important but ignored zoonotic disease in India, with high prevalence among livestock and humans. It is of particular concern among veterinarians as they come in contact with infected animals in their day to day work. Aim and Objectives: The present study was carried out to determine the prevalence of antibrucellar antibodies and assess the Knowledge, Attitude and ...

So one of the neglected country. According to several studies, distribution prevalence bovine human Ethiopia varies among regions terms animal pro...

Background and objectives: Brucellosis is an acute or chronic illness manifested principally by chills and fever. Occasionally, chronic relapsing febrile episodes occur. Brucellosis is endemic in animal and humans are infected incidentally. The aim of the study was to examine the incidence of brucellosis in Erbil City, study the relation between the rate of infection and a number of predisposin...

AIM This study investigated the seroprevalence, complications and risk factors of Brucella infection in rural areas of Sivas, Turkey.
