The cultural and pathological examination of bulls serologically positive for brucellosis

Australian Veterinary Journal
B D Hill

Abstract

The genitalia from 34 bulls were examined for the presence of Brucella lesions using histological, bacteriological and serological methods. Tissue fluids extracted from the various genital organs and the serums were examined using the serum agglutination test (SAT), the Rose Bengal plate agglutination test (RBPT), the complement fixation test (CFT) and the indirect haemagglutination test (IHLT) for the presence of Brucella antibody. Titres to one or more of these tests were found in 17 bulls and B. abortus was cultured from 5 of these. The testing of tissue fluids from genital organs did not increase the number of serologically positive animals.

Brucellosis

Brucellosis is a bacterial infection caused by members of the genus brucella and remains one of the world's major zoonotic diseases. Discover the latest research on Brucellosis here.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
