| Abstract | ||
| rucellosis is an animal disease caused by a species of the bacterium Brucella that can be transmitted to humans. The present study was performed to determine the serum and molecular prevalence of this disease in camels of South Khorasan province during a one-year period in 1400. To detect brucellosis infection in these animals, serological tests including rose bengal, burn and milk ring test were performed on 151 serum samples and 103 milk samples. Sampling was done from the cities of South Khorasan province including Birjand, Nehbandan, Ghaenat and Boshrouyeh. The results showed that 42 samples were positive in the Rose Bengal test. Then, in order to determine the titer of the relevant antibodies, Wright test was performed on positive samples and the amount of antibody titer in 9 samples in this Wright test was detected with a positive titer of 1.80. In molecular tests on milk, 2 samples were positive and the identified bacterium Brucella melitensis was detected. This study determined the presence and prevalence of brucellosis among camels in South Khorasan province and the results showed the need to use control programs for this disease and monitoring measures should be considered. | ||
