摘要：Objective:
This study aimed to explore the seroprevalence of
Brucella spp. in goats in some selected areas of Bangladesh.
Materials and Methods:
This study was conducted in different goat-populated regions of Bangladesh from July 2017 to June 2018. A total of 208 serum samples were randomly collected from goats in Jashore (
n = 50), Jhenidah (
n = 22), Tangail (
n = 40), Savar (
n = 46), Thakurgaon (
n = 18), and Bandarban (
n = 32) areas. The samples were subjected to determine the presence of antibodies against
Brucella spp. by rose bengal plate test (RBPT) and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (c-ELISA).
Results:
Overall, the seroprevalence of Brucellosis in goats was 4.33% (
n = 9/208) by RBPT and 2.40% (
n = 5/208) by c-ELISA. The seroprevalence of brucellosis on the basis of RBPT was 6% (buck: 0%, doe: 6%) in Jashore, 4.5% (buck: 0%, doe: 4.5%) in Jhenidah, 2.5% (buck: 0%, doe: 2.5%) in Tangail, 4.35% (buck: 0%, doe: 4.35%) in Savar, 6.25% (buck: 0%, doe: 6.25%) in Bandarban, and 5.56% (buck: 0%, doe: 5.56%) in Thakurgaon. On the other hand, the seroprevalence of brucellosis by c-ELISA was 4% (buck: 0%, doe: 4%) in Jashore, 4.5% (buck: 0%, doe: 4.5%) in Jhenidah, 3.13% (buck: 0%, doe: 3.13%) in Bandarban, and 5.56% (buck: 0%, doe: 5.56%) in Thakurgaon. Brucellosis was more prevalent (
p> 0.001) in does aging 3–4 years.
Conclusion:
Goats from different areas of Bangladesh are caring antibodies against
Brucella organisms. Further bacteriological investigations are necessary.
