Abstract

The current study was performed to evaluate the presence of Brucella antibodies in serum obtained from camels in Egypt. Sero- prevalence study was carried out in three governorates of Egypt during the period of October 2016 to December 2017. A total of 312 serum samples were collected from provinces of Matrouh, Aswan, and Giza. Samples of serum were screened using the Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) then positive samples confirmed by ELISA and CFT.   Results revealed that out of 312 camel sera collected, 89 (28.5%) were positive for Brucella antibodies by Rose Bengal plate test then when confirmed by CFT and ELISA the results revealed 81 (91.01%) were positive by CFT and 87 (97.75%) were positive by ELISA, respectively. The results of this study confirm that RBPT, CFT, and ELISA can be used for diagnosis of camel brucellosis and understanding the epidemiology of camel brucellosis for performing future effective control programs in Egypt.
