Abstract

The study was conducted at Bahri North, Khartoum State, Sudan, during the year 2021. The study was aiming at detection of bovine, caprine and ovine brucellosis in North Bahri. A total of 1050 bovine, 2081 caprine and 870 ovine blood samples were collected. Sera were separated from blood samples and kept at -20o at the laboratory of College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Bahri. Sera were tested using Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and modified Rose Bengal Plate Test (mRBPT) for detection of Brucella antibodies. By using RBPT for testing the sera for brucellosis, the prevalence of bovine brucellosis was 0.95, caprine brucellosis 11.24% and ovine brucellosis 1.14%. By using mRBPT for testing the sera for brucellosis, the prevalence of bovine brucellosis was 1.42, caprine brucellosis 13.83% and ovine brucellosis 1.95%. mRBPT is more sensitive than RBPT in detection of Brucella antibodies. Investigation of more animals covering the whole state, using of other serological and immunological test and vaccination of animals are recommended.
