Brucelosis is one of the most important diseases affecting animals in most of
the developing countries. The study aimed to serological detection of
Brucellosis in ruminants in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate using RBPT and
BPAT as a screening test and ELISA and CFT as a confirmatory test. The
obtained result showed that the incidence rate was highest in sheep (12%)
followed by cattle (8.4%), goat (6.4%) and finally the lowest incidence rate
was in buffaloes (6.1%). The most infected area was Fuwwa and kafr Elsheikh

in comparison with other districts. Moreover, iELISA is most
sensitive (96.5%) and specific test (98.3%) while BAPT is the lowest
sensitive (83.8%) and specific test (90%). The isolated Brucella strain
bacteriologically identified and confirmed by PCR as B. meltensis biovar 3
