Brucellosis is an endemic disease in Pakistan, yet an overall systemic surveillance data of the country is missing. This study aims to determine seroprevalence in domestic livestock population and high and low risk-associated humans of tribal Kurram Agency, Pakistan. A total of 567 random animal blood samples (148 cattle, 105 buffaloes, 154 sheep, and 160 goats), 197 human serum samples (n= 83 from low risk population n= 114 from high risk individuals) and ,in order to establish association between abortion and brucellosis, additional 395 animals with maximum of 4 weeks of foetal-birth history with or without abortion were initially screened …

Camels still play an important role in providing food security in several developing countries, especially in the arid zones. As brucellosis has zoonotic importance, thereby diseased camels can infect humans chiefly via milk. In spite of its vital importance, limited studies are available of brucellosis in camels in Pakistan. Keeping in view the fact, this study was designed and executed. For this purpose, serum samples (n=761) from various herds of camel with history of abortion from different locations of Punjab province, Pakistan were collected. Initial screening was done using Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT). To avoid improper judgment of the …
