Brucellosis is a contagious disease affecting animal health especially in developing countries. Brucella melitensis is a major cause of abortion in small ruminants and a significant public health pathogen. This study was carried out to know the sero prevalence of brucellosis in small ruminants in and around Hassan district, Karnataka, India. A total of 192 serum samples were collected from different flock of sheep & goat and subjected to RBPT and iELISA. Overall prevalence rate of brucellosis was found to be 20.83% (CI: 15.08 - 26.57%) and 16.66% (CI: 11.38 - 21.93%) by RBPT & iELISA, respectively. Prevalence rate in sheep was 25.85% (CI: 18.77% - 32.93%) and 20.40% (CI: 13.89% - 26.91%) by RBPT and iELISA respectively whereas in goats it was 04.44% (CI: 0.0% - 10.39%) by both tests. Region wise, significantly higher prevalence was recorded in migratory flocks from Hiriyur (57.77%, 46.66%) and Sira (35.71%, 25.00%) compared to native Hassan flocks (3.36%, 3.36%) both by RBPT and iELISA, tests respectively. Significant difference in prevalence was observed between species but not between tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
