Detection of Brucella Antibody and DNA in Cow Milk by ELISA and PCR Methods
The aim of the present study was to determine comparatively the presence of anti-Brucella antibody and Brucella DNA in cow milk. Anti-Brucella antibody was detected by ELISA based on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as diagnostic antigen. Besides, the presence of Brucella DNA in milk samples was screened by eryCD gene-targeted PCR and B. abortus DNA was determined by amplification of alkB genes. Fo...
متن کاملIsolation of Brucella Melitensis Strains from Syrian Bovine Milk Samples
Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease that still constitutes a major public health problem in Syria. In the current study, Brucella has been isolated from cow milk samples and typed by both molecular and conventional techniques. Over a 6-year period (2002–2007) 2372 milk samples were collected from Syrian cow herds. The milk ring test (MRT) was performed where 57% of samples were found to...
متن کاملDetection of Brucella melitensis in bovine milk and milk products from apparently healthy animals in Egypt by real-time PCR.
INTRODUCTION Brucellosis in Egypt is an endemic disease among animals and humans. In endemic developing countries, dairy products produced from untreated milk are a potential threat to public health. The aim of this study was to detect brucellae in milk and milk products produced from apparently healthy animals to estimate the prevalence of contamination. METHODOLOGY Two hundred and fifteen u...
