Brucellosis is a febrile disease of animals and humans. It possesses a serious hazard to human health and domestic animals with important economic consequences. Brucellosis is an important disease causing infertility, repeat breeding, retention of placenta and abortion in animals. It is transmitted through direct or indirect contact with infected animals or through the ingestion of animal by products. Sheep are natural reservoir of Brucella and mainly infected by Brucella melitensis. Ovine brucellosis poses a barrier to trade of animals and animal products between countries and causes considerable economic losses. The present study was carried out to study the sero-prevalence of brucellosis in sheep in and around Jaipur. A total of 360 serum samples were collected from different locations of Jaipur from sheep and were tested by serological methods viz. Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), Standard Tube Agglutination Test (STAT) and Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (i-ELISA). Test wise sero-prevalence of brucellosis was 1.67%, 6.39% and 7.22% by RBPT, STAT and i-ELISA, respectively. Taking i-ELISA as gold standard test the sensitivity of STAT is higher than RBPT and the high specificity values were reported in both tests. i-ELISA was found most sensitive test in all three serological tests because i-ELISA measured the highest brucella positive serum sample in sheep.
