Abstract

12%, in cross bred 22.7% and in local 18.9% through RBPT, while it was 4%, 15.3% and 12.7% through SAT in exotic, cross bred and local cattle, respectively. It was found that the occurrence of brucellosis was positively associated with increased TLC, AST, ALT and SD. On other hand Hb, TEC, TLC, neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes and monocytes counts were decreased in positive animals. Conclusion:In conclusion, Brucellosis in Lahore-Pakistan is a serious problem among dairy herds and inducing inimical impact on commercial dairy farmers' economy. The seroprevalence varies across animal breeds with variable deleterious changes in hematological parameters and serum biochemistry.

“…Again, using SSI, a seroprevalence of 0% [ 44 , 55 , 66 , 67 ] was reported in camels, cattle, donkeys, dogs, horses, rodents, and sheep in Egypt. A seroprevalence of 71% [ 68 ] in dogs, 82.1% [ 69 ] in humans, and 78.4% [ 70 ] in cattle were reported by SSI in Iran, Turkey, and Egypt, respectively.…”

“…Moreover, free-ranging dogs can cause animal losses in smallscale farms [27]. From the perspective of public health [28], it is important to understand that dogs can be affected by over 100 zoonotic, bacterial [29], viral [30], and parasitic diseases [31][32][33] and may be carriers of diseases that include rabies [34][35][36][37], leptospirosis [38], hookworm disease, echinococcosis, leishmaniasis [39], ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, brucellosis [40], dirofilariasis [41], Bartonella spp. [42], cestodiasis, salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, yersiniosis, helicobacter, Bordetella pertussis, Borrelia burgdorferi [43], and streptococcus, as well as staph infections, chlamydia, and scabies, among others [44,45].…”
