Abstract

A total of 200 samples (100 Farmer raw cow's milk, 60 market milk and 40 fresh cream) were collected from individual farmers, different dairy shops and milk separation centers distributed through Beni-Seuf and El-Minia cities, Egypt. The milk samples were subjected to serological test for detection of Brucella antibodies, using Milk ring test (MRT), Whey Buffered acidified plate antigen test (wBAPAT) and Whey Rose Bengal plate test (wRBPT). Out of 100 farmers milk samples examined by MRT. 30%, 7% and 63% were positive, suspicious and negative respectively. Also, 44% and 42% of these samples were positive for wBAPAT and wRBPT, respectively. On the other hand, Out of 60 market milk samples examined by MRT. 23.3%, 8.4% and 68.3% were positive, suspicious and negative, respectively, while 53.4% and 48.4% were positive for wBAPAT and wRBPT, respectively. All samples were examined bacteriologically for presence of Brucella organisms. The prevalence of Brucella species in farmers milk, market milk and cream samples were 28%, 60% and 32.5%, respectively. All isolates were typed as Brucella melitensis biovar 3. The public health significance and suggestive control measures were discussed.
