“…Therefore, despite differences in timing, environment and host determinants, diagnostic tests, sampling size and study designs, the prevalence of brucellosis in the Iranian horses is almost the same, and the seroprevalence of brucellosis is expected to be less than 10% across Iran. In the studies conducted in other countries, the seroprevalence of brucellosis were reported to be 0—100% in Nigeria (Ardo & Abubakar, 2016; Ardo et al., 2016; Bertu et al., 2014; Ehizibolo et al., 2011; Sadiq et al., 2013), 8.3% in Mongolia (Zolzaya et al., 2014), 0.26–6.5% in Brazil (Antunes et al., 2013; Santos et al., 2016), 3.6‐ ‐67.9% in Pakistan (Gul et al., 2013; Hussain et al., 2020; Safirullah et al., 2014), 0.25–60.6% in Turkey (Göz et al., 2007; Solmaz et al., 2004; Tel et al., 2011), 0.24% in Mexico (Acosta‐Gonzalez et al., 2006), 3.6–4.9% in Sudan (Musa, 2004), 1–8.5% in Jordan (Abo‐Shehada et al., 2009) and 0% in Eritrea (Omer et al., 2000). This significant difference in the prevalence of brucellosis in different countries, and even between different regions in a country can be due to differences in management such as husbandry, contact rate with domestic and wild animals and population density, location, climate, sample size, diagnostic method and hosting characteristics (Acosta‐Gonzalez et al.…”
