Abstract
We evaluated serologic responses of cattle, bison, elk, and swine representing negative control, early vaccination (4-8 wk), late vaccination (21-28 wk) or booster vaccination, early after-experimental challenge (2-4 wk), and late after-experimental challenge (8-21 wk), in a brucellosis fluorescence polarization assay (FPA; n = 10 sera per species per treatment) using negative control sera from cattle, bison, elk, and swine (n = 5 per species). Sera from cattle shedding Brucella abortus strain RB51 in milk were also evaluated against the 20 negative control sera. The species of negative control sera used in the FPA could increase (p < 0.05) delta millipolarization (mP; delta mP = sample mP - negative control mP) results. In general, the species of negative control sera did not alter the interpretation of FPA results in control, vaccinated, or infected animals. Even after repeated RB51 vaccinations in bison, cattle, or elk, or in cattle shedding RB51 in milk, serologic results from the FPA remained negative. Species differences in FPA results were noted; elk developed robust humoral responses very quickly after infection that resulted in strong positive FPA results. In cattle and bison, humoral responses appeared to develop over...Continue Reading
