Sero-Prevalence of Anti-Brucella Antibodies in Camels in El-Gedarif State: A Short Communication
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract:The aim of this study was to determine seroprevalence of anti-brucella antibodies in camels in three different localities in El-Gedarif state, Eastern Sudan. Two hundred serum samples were collected from adult male and femalecamels were examined using the rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) and serum agglutination test (SAT). Overall seroprevalences of 32% (n= 64, 95% CI ±6.46) and 23% (n= 46, 95% CI ±5.83) were reported by RBPT and SAT respectively. There were no significant statistical differences in the reported seroprevalences among localities. Furthermore, no brucella species was isolated from any of the cultured lymph node samples. This study showed that the seroprevalence of anti-brucella antibodies using RBPT and SAT is relatively high. Further studies investigating brucellosis across the whole state should be carried out to explore the epidemiology of this disease in camels. Keywords:anti-brucella, serum agglutination test (SAT), rose Bengal plate test (RBPT)
