Abstract | ||||
The diagnosis of Brucellosis in small ruminants requires the use of more than one serological test. Examination of 1056 sheep and 264 goats by RBPT revealed that 21 (1.99%) and 7 (2.65%) were positive reactors for brucellosis. The rates of the agreement between the positive RBPT and SAT reactors were (42.86%) and (57.14%) in sheep and goats respectively. A higher rates were obtained on using both EDTA-modified SAT and RT, (80.95%) in sheep and (100.00%) in goats. Four isolates of Br. melitensis biovar 3 were recovered from the lymph nodes from sheep and goats. | ||||
