“…There are various researchers who reported management wise prevalence of bovine brucellosis in India. In this study, the results coincided with the findings of Isloor et al [26][27][28] showing that a higher prevalence of brucellosis was observed in organized farms than in single cow herds. This may be attributed to the spread of infection that is quick, easily spread and mainly due to the improper screening, surveillance and monitoring.…”

In this cross sectional study 483 milk samples were collected from 483 lactating cows from selected districts of Tamil Nadu to detect antibodies against Brucella using Milk Ring Test (MRT). Overall, 4.35 per cent of milk samples were positive by MRT. The lactating cows were divided into 1st, 2nd to 4th and ≥5th lactation and the prevalence of Brucella were 2.94, 3.06 and 6.48 per cent respectively. Based on husbandry practices, the highest prevalence was recorded in unorganized farm sector (8.21%) followed by organized farm (3.84%) and single cow herds (3.63%). MRT can be used as a spot screening test. Presence of antibodies with their prevalence in organized and unorganized farms warrants a systematic preventive strategy that is used to control brucellosis.

“…Lower incidence indicates the effective implementation of regular testing and culling of seropositive animals. Perusal of the literature indicated prevalence of brucellosis in western region (Gujarat state) was ranging from 8.98 to 44.00% (Sutariya et al 2005;Chauhan et al 2000), 17% in southern region (Isloor et al 1998), 6.3% in central region (Madhya Pradesh state) (Mehra et al 2000) and 12.9% in northern region (Punjab state) (Dhand et al 2005). In other countries, sero-prevalence of brucellosis was reported to be 3.1% in Ethiopia (Ibrahim et al 2009), 6.5% in Jordan (Al-Majali et al 2009), 8.4% in Cameroon (Bayemi et al 2009) and 32.92 to 39.45% in Turkey (Sahin et al 2008).…”

“…There are several bacterial and viral infectious agents like Brucella abortus, bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1), Leptospira spp etc. may be responsible for abortions in dairy animals (Isloor et al 1998;Mariya et al 2007). A high sero prevalence (17%) of bovine brucellosis has been reported in Indian dairy herds with the history of abortions (Isloor et al 1998) and the organism could also be isolated from aborted material in cattle (Chahota et al 2003).…”

This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of bovine brucellosis and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) in organized dairy farms with history of abortion in India. ELISA and Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) were used to detect the seropositive animals and the test results indicated that 22.18% and 13.78% animals were declared as sero-positive by ELISA and RBPT, respectively. Milk Ring Test (MRT) was carried out only in one farm and 12.82% of the tested animals were turned positive. Culture examination analysis of milk samples, two animals revealed the presence of organisms indistinguishable from Brucella spp. The organism was confirmed as brucella by morphological characteristics and biochemical tests. An overall sero-prevalence of antibodies against IBR was found to be 60.84%. None of the genital and nasal swab samples was found to be positive for presence of bovine herpesvirus -1 (BHV-1) on repeated passage in Madin-Darby Bovine Kidney (MDBK) cell lines. Brucella and IBR considered as the causal agent for abortions in these farms. The present study indicates the urgent need and the necessity for control of these infectious diseases which cause heavy economic losses to the organized farms.

“…Senthil et al conducted a seroprevalence study of bovine brucellosis in Chennai, India utilizing various diagnostic tests with positive results ranging from 3.3% – 11.4% [11]. Isloor et al found overall prevalence was 1.9% in cattle and 1.8% in buffalo [12]. Long-term serological studies indicate baseline seroprevalence of 5% in cattle and 3% in buffalo [6].…”

The study objective is to develop an epidemiological model of brucellosis transmission dynamics among cattle in India and to estimate the impact of different prevention and control strategies. The prevention and control strategies are test-and-slaughter, transmission rate reduction, and mass vaccination. We developed a mathematical model based on the susceptible-infectious-recovered epidemic model to simulate brucellosis transmission dynamics, calibrated to the endemically stable levels of bovine brucellosis prevalence of cattle in India. We analyzed the epidemiological benefit of different rates of reduced transmission and vaccination. Test-and-slaughter is an effective strategy for elimination and eradication of brucellosis, but socio-cultural constraints forbid culling of cattle in India. Reducing transmission rates lowered the endemically stable levels of brucellosis prevalence correspondingly. One-time vaccination lowered prevalence initially but increased with influx of new susceptible births. While this epidemiological model is a basic representation of brucellosis transmission dynamics in India and constrained by limitations in surveillance data, this study illustrates the comparative epidemiological impact of different bovine brucellosis prevention and control strategies.
