  • Title: [Epidemiology of bovine brucellosis in Mali: serologic investigation and initial isolation of strains of Brucella abortus].
    Author: Tounkara K, Maiga S, Traoré A, Seck BM, Akakpo AJ.
    Journal: Rev Sci Tech; 1994 Sep; 13(3):777-86. PubMed ID: 7949352.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the results of an epidemiological survey of bovine brucellosis in Mali, based on a relatively representative sample of 1,000 serum samples from 236 herds. The prevalence of infection in the herds, established by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was 53% +/- 6.4. The proportion of animals infected was 23.3% +/- 2.5, falling to 22% when compared with the basic serum pool of 9,466 samples. This rate was relatively high in stationary herds in the semi-arid, sub-humid and arid zones. Four strains of Brucella abortus were isolated from cattle bearing hygromas.
