No data are available concerning the seroprevalence of brucellosis in Central African Republic (CAR) and the last report concerning the seroprevalence of Q fever in CAR is from 1995. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of these diseases in CAR, especially in Zebu cattle. We used the Rose Bengal Plate Test to test 2032 bovine serum samples for antibodies to Brucella spp. and an ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to estimate the seroprevalence of human brucellosis in livestock professionals and analyze the factors associated with brucellosis focusing on sociodemographic variables and the variables of knowledge and practices related to the characteristics of the activities carried out in livestock. METHODS This is a cross-sectional seroepidemiological study with...

A cross-sectional study was conducted on the seroprevalence of horse brucellosis using the Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and Serum Agglutination Test (SAT) on the Mambilla plateau of Taraba state, Nigeria where horses are reared under a free range management system on cattle farms. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence of brucella antibodies in horses as well as the distr...

Studies have been done on public health significance of brucellosis using serology with little or no emphasis to risk factors. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate seroprevalence of brucellosis and assess epidemiological variables associated with human brucellosis. After obtaining verbal consent, 241 peripheral blood samples were collected from occupationally exposed groups with an...

Brucella canis which is the main etiologic agent of brucellosis in dogs, can be transmitted to man. It causes mild or asymptomatic infection in human compared with other Brucella species. B.canis can be transmitted to man either by laboratory accidents or contact with infected dogs. Since B.canis infections in humans are not routinely investigated in hospitals in Turkey, the data are limited to...

Abstract Brucellosis is an important zoonosis that results in substantial economic losses to the livestock industry through abortions and reduced milk yield. This study investigated abortion outbreak a dairy herd then explored effects of emergency vaccination with Brucella abortus A19 vaccine on incidence A full dose (6 × 10 —12 colony forming units, CFU) was administered subcutaneously calves ...
