The outer membrane proteins based seroprevalence strategy for Brucella ovis natural infection in sheep [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionThe diagnosis of brucellosis largely relies on tiger red plate agglutination test (RBPT). However, it is difficult to distinguish between natural infection antibody positive and vaccination antibody positive, nevertheless, the identification ...
