  • Title: The relationship between the isolation of Brucella abortus and serological status of infected, non-vaccinated cattle.
    Author: Hornitzky M, Searson J.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 1986 Jun; 63(6):172-4. PubMed ID: 3094489.
    Abstract:
    Seventy two non-vaccinated cattle with various complement fixation (CF), rose bengal (RB) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results at slaughter were examined bacteriologically and serologically. Brucella abortus was recovered from 49 (68.1%) of the cattle and the use of a biphasic culture medium was entirely responsible for the detection of 6 (12.2%) of the culture positive cattle. The supramammary and retropharyngeal lymph nodes were the most rewarding tissues to culture. A comparison of culture results and serological status demonstrated that B. abortus could be isolated from cattle with negative RB and CF tests and that the ELISA was useful in detecting these cattle and infected cattle with low CT titres. The RB test was also useful as it detected all but 4 of the cattle found to be infected.
