Comparison of two multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis methods for molecular strain typing of human Brucella melitensis isolates from the Middle East [PDF]

, 2009
Brucella species are highly monomorphic, with minimal genetic variation among species, hindering the development of reliable subtyping tools for epidemiologic and phylogenetic analyses.

Seroprevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Brucellosis in Backyard Dairy Cattle in the Western Buffer Zone of Chitwan National Park, Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
A 1.56% prevalence of Brucella abortus antibodies was detected by Ab‐ELISA in backyard dairy cattle in Chitwan, Nepal. Risk factors were not significantly associated with infection, and untested wildlife reservoirs were identified. These findings highlight the need for more systematic, comprehensive studies.

Towards Integrated Surveillance of Marine Brucellosis: Diagnostic and Phylogenetic Assessment of Brucella ceti in Stranded Dolphins of the Western Mediterranean Sea

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Reports of brucellosis in free‐ranging cetaceans are increasing worldwide, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea. To enhance diagnostic accuracy and epidemiological understanding of cetacean brucellosis in the Western Mediterranean Sea, we analyzed bacteriological, serological, and molecular data from 30 cetaceans belonging to three different species ...

Diagnostic Performance of Rose Bengal, Competitive ELISA, and Native Hapten (NH) Assays in S19 Mass‐Vaccinated Cattle in an Endemic Brucellosis Environment

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Controlling bovine brucellosis requires reliable diagnostics and effective vaccination strategies. We evaluated the performance of three serological assays—the rose bengal test (RBT), competitive ELISA (cELISA), and agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) with native hapten (NH)+lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen—following Brucella abortus S19 vaccination under ...

Seroprevalence and characterization of Brucella species in cattle slaughtered at Gauteng abattoirs, South Africa

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2019
Background Brucellosis is an infectious and contagious zoonotic bacterial disease of both humans and animals. In developing countries where brucellosis is endemic, baseline data on the prevalence of brucellosis, using abattoir facilities, is important ...
