摘要
Sera from 480 camels of both sexes in the Sahel savannah of Nigeria were tested for antibodies to brucellosis, using the microtitre serum agglutination test with Brucella abortus antigen. The overall incidence of positive titres (titres greater than 1.1) was 7.5%. Brucella antibodies were almost as frequent in males (7%) as females (8.3%). Camel meat and milk is increasingly important as a source of protein for the human population in the region. This study highlights the potential importance of brucellosis for public health and measures are suggested for a national brucellosis control. (C) 1997 Academic Press Limited.
