  • Title: Brucella melitensis biotype 1 outbreak in goats in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
    Author: Reichel R, Nel JR, Emslie R, Bishop GC.
    Journal: Onderstepoort J Vet Res; 1996 Jun; 63(2):183-5. PubMed ID: 8856768.
    Abstract:
    Brucella melitensis biotype 1 was confirmed in indigenous, outbred goats in three northern districts of the KwaZulu-Natal province following the diagnosis of human Malta fever in the same area. Six foci of infection were found during an extensive serological survey involving 6266 goats carried out in most of the districts of the KwaZulu-Natal province. The prevalence in the positive herds varied between 17% and 100%. The diagnosis was confirmed by culturing milk samples from serologically positive animals. Infected goats were found in only three districts (Ubombo, Ingwavuma and Pongola) and all infected herds fell within a 50-km radius.
