Seroprevalence Study of Brucella Infection in and around Rewa District, India

Investigation of Reproductive Failure in Buffaloes at a Farm of Itarsi Tehsil in Madhya Pradesh in India for Detection of Antibodies to Brucella Species Organisms by Rose Bengal Test and Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus by Indirect Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay

“…Detailed reviews about the disease in animal populations had been published by several researchers emphasizing etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, immune response, diagnosis, vaccination and its control (Smits and Kadri, 2005;Gul and Khan, 2007;Boral et al, 2009;Manish et al, 2013;Shoukat et al, 2017;Khurana et al, 2021). Several researchers have reported the presence of Brucella species infection (Kataria and Verma, 1969;Isloor et al, 1998;Mehra et al, 2000;Gogoi et al, 2017;Gupta et al, 2017;Verma et al, 2019;Islam et al, 2021) and IBR infection (Nandi et al, 2004, Nandi et al, 2007Audarya et al, 2017;Patel et al, 2018) in the livestock population. Some of the researchers have also used molecular methods for the identification and characterization of the organisms (Ghodasara et al, 2010;Pandey et al, 2014a).…”

“…In previous studies, high as well as lower percentages of anti-Brucella antibodies from randomly collected or suspected/infected cases of bovines were reported in India and abroad by using different diagnostic tests (Rahman et al, 2011;Shome et al, 2014;Priyanka et al, 2018). Bovine brucellosis in Madhya Pradesh was reported as early as 1969 (Kataria and Verma, 1969) and continued to be reported in the state in large ruminants (Gupta et al, 2017;Verma et al, 2019). Mehra et al (2000) reported an overall prevalence of 6.3% in cattle and buffaloes irrespective of sex and age and higher seroprevalence rates in buffaloes (11.4%) than in cows (9.6%) in Madhya Pradesh state.…”
