Effect of some therapeutics and immunostimulants on the course of Brucellosis in naturally infected sheep and goats
In this study a total of 14 infected sheep and 6 lactating albino goats were used. These animals were proved to be brucellosis seropositive using TAT, MET, BAPAT, RBPT and rivanol test as well as bacteriologically positive by isolation of Brucella melitensis biovar 3 from their milk. These animals...

| Summary: | In this study a total of 14 infected sheep and 6 lactating albino goats were used. These animals were proved to be brucellosis seropositive using TAT, MET, BAPAT, RBPT and rivanol test as well as bacteriologically positive by isolation of Brucella
melitensis biovar 3 from their milk. These animals were subjected to trials of treatment using three different methods. Goats treated by antibiotics combined with
BCG showed the highest recovery rate (on bacteriological basis), followed by animals
treated with antibiotics only and finally animals treated with antibiotics combined ID.
The recovered treated animals were placed under careful investigation for 2 years
with no evidence of Brucella infection neither in them nor in their newborns. |
