Seroprevalence of Brucellosis and Associated Risk Factors among Indigenous Breeds of Goats in Wukari, Taraba State, Nigeria

Journal of Pathogens, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
A cross‐sectional study was conducted in Wukari, Taraba state, Nigeria, to determine the prevalence of Brucella antibodies and the risk factors associated with brucellosis in indigenous breeds of goats. A total of 386 goats were sampled from three political wards: Puje, Avyi, and Hospital: harvested sera samples were subjected to Rose Bengal Plate Test

Comparative Seroepidemiological Study of Brucellosis in Sheep under Smallholder Farming and Governmental Breeding Ranches of Central and North East Ethiopia

Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
This cross‐sectional study was carried out to investigate the status of brucellosis in sheep management under extensive smallholder farming and intensively in governmental breeding ranches in six districts selected from three administrative zones. Using multistage sampling, serum samples of 2409 sheep from 274 flocks were collected and tested using the

Seroprevalence of small ruminant brucellosis in the state of Qatar

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 2, March 2024.
Brucellosis was found to be endemic in small ruminants in Qatar. The disease is more prevalent in sheep (16.7%) compared to goats (2.4%). The seroprevalence at the flock level was 19.3% in small ruminates (sheep and goat combined), 30.0% in sheep and 7.4% in goats.

Detection of Brucella in Dermacentor Ticks of Wild Boar with Brucellosis

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Brucellosis is a sanitary and economically relevant disease affecting humans, livestock, and wildlife. Ticks have been suggested as vectors, long‐term carriers, and amplifiers of Brucella. In this study, ticks from wildlife ungulate hosts living in hunting reserves of a central region of Spain were collected during a 6‐year period, pooled, and screened

DNA polymorphism analysis of Brucella lipopolysaccharide genes reveals marked differences in O-polysaccharide biosynthetic genes between smooth and rough Brucella species and novel species-specific markers

BMC Microbiology, 2009
Background The lipopolysaccharide is a major antigen and virulence factor of Brucella, an important bacterial pathogen. In smooth brucellae, lipopolysaccharide is made of lipid A-core oligosaccharide and N-formylperosamine O-polysaccharide. B. ovis and B.
