Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis in buffaloes in Bidar district of Karnataka. A total of 150 serum and 150 milk samples were collected from five talukas of Bidar district and subjected to RBPT, MRT and i-ELISA for confirmation of brucellosis in buffaloes. The overall prevalence of brucellosis in buffaloes was found to be 12.66%, 8.66% and 21.33% by RBPT, MRT and i-ELISA respectively. Higher prevalence of brucellosis was recorded by i-ELISA followed by RBPT and MRT. On age-wise study, the higher prevalence was noticed in the 4-6 year followed by above 6 year and 1-4 years age groups. Buffaloes with the history of reproductive disorders have higher prevalence of brucellosis. To conclude, i-ELISA test is highly sensitive and better diagnostic tool compared to other tests in the diagnosis of brucellosis in buffaloes.
