BACTERIOLOGICAL & SEROLOGICAL STUDY OF BRUCELLOSIS IN BUFFALO IN BAGHDAD
To study the prevalence of brucellosis among buffalo in Baghdad, 144 serum samples were collected and tested serologically using Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and Tube Agglutination Test (TAT), also 44 milk samples tested by Milk Ring Test (MRT). For isolation and identification of Brucella species...

| description | To study the prevalence of brucellosis among buffalo in Baghdad, 144
serum samples were collected and tested serologically using Rose Bengal Plate
Test (RBPT) and Tube Agglutination Test (TAT), also 44 milk samples tested
by Milk Ring Test (MRT). For isolation and identification of Brucella species
and behavior, 15 buffalo aborted fetuses were used. And for evaluation of the
health hazzard caused by the consumption of the locally manufactured cream
from the milk of buffalo, 76 cream samples were used for cultivation.
The results of the RBPT, TAT and MRT revealed the prevalence of the
disease in the percentages (38.19%, 29.86% and 20.45%) respectively.
It was found that Brucella abortus was the main cause of abortion in the
buffalo (53.33%). There biotypes were the 8th and 3rd.
The cream samples manufactured from the milk of buffalo doesn’t show
health hazzard as a cause of brucellosis in human, because it didn’t revealed any
Brucella isolates in all samples used. |
