Abstract:Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonosis that is endemic in Namibia. This study estimated seroprevalence of brucellosis, and determined the presence of
Brucella
infection in slaughtered cattle using the genus-specific 16-23S rRNA interspacer PCR (ITS-PCR), and the species-specific AMOS-PCR. Between December 2018 and May 2019, sera (
n =
304), pooled lymph nodes (
n =
304), and individual spleen (
n =
304) were collected from… Show more
