Abstract | ||||
Three thousands and two hundred seventy one blood sera (2663 from cattle, 558 from buffaloes, and 50 from horses) were tested for antibodies against Brucella abortus, Chlamydia psittaci and Leptospira serovars. Antibodies against Brucella abortus were detected by Rose Bengal Plate and standard serum agglutination tests in sera of cattle, buffaloes and horses in 120 (4.51%), 30 (5.38%) and 4 (8%), respectively. Antibodies against Chlamydia psittaci were detected by micro-immunofluorescence test in 414 (15.55%), 185 (33.15%) and 8 (16%) serum samples of cattle, buffaloes and horses, respectively. While, antibodies against Leptospira hardjo, Leptospira grippotyphosa and Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae were detected by microscopic agglutination test in 187 (7.1 %), 67 (12%) and 6 (12%) serum samples of cattle, buffaloes and horses, respectively. | ||||
