| description | Brucellelosis has been almost eradicated in developed countries while in under developed areas from Mediterranean regions to Arabic countries and even in Indian subcontinental can cause serious health problems. This point can be found out easily in released reports. It is over a century that various serological methods have been introduced and applied for diagnosis of brucella infection, but all were not able to provide satisfactory results.
