Abstract
Sero-Prevalence of Small Ruminant Brucellosis in and around Kombolcha, Amhara Regional State, North-Eastern Ethiopia
A cross sectional study was conducted in and around Kombolcha town of Amhara Regional State, North-Eastern Ethiopia from October, 2009 to March, 2010 with the objectives of determining the sero-prevalence and to identify likely potential risk factors of brucellosis in small ruminants. A total of 714 sheep and goats above six months of age with no previous history of vaccination against brucellosis were randomly sampled. Serum samples collected from small ruminants were screened using the Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT). Positive sera were further subjected to the Complement Fixation Test (CFT).
