The relationship between the isolation of Brucella abortus and serological status of infected, non-vaccinated cattle. 1986

M Hornitzky, and J Searson

Seventy two non-vaccinated cattle with various complement fixation (CF), rose bengal (RB) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results at slaughter were examined bacteriologically and serologically. Brucella abortus was recovered from 49 (68.1%) of the cattle and the use of a biphasic culture medium was entirely responsible for the detection of 6 (12.2%) of the culture positive cattle. The supramammary and retropharyngeal lymph nodes were the most rewarding tissues to culture. A comparison of culture results and serological status demonstrated that B. abortus could be isolated from cattle with negative RB and CF tests and that the ELISA was useful in detecting these cattle and infected cattle with low CT titres. The RB test was also useful as it detected all but 4 of the cattle found to be infected.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002003 Brucella abortus A species of the genus BRUCELLA whose natural hosts are cattle and other bovidae. Abortion and placentitis are frequently produced in the pregnant animal. Other mammals, including humans, may be infected. Bacterium abortus,Brucella melitensis biovar abortus
D002007 Brucellosis, Bovine A disease of cattle caused by bacteria of the genus BRUCELLA leading to abortion in late pregnancy. BRUCELLA ABORTUS is the primary infective agent. Bang's Disease,Bang Disease,Bangs Disease,Bovine Brucelloses,Bovine Brucellosis,Brucelloses, Bovine,Disease, Bang,Disease, Bang's
D002417 Cattle Domesticated bovine animals of the genus Bos, usually kept on a farm or ranch and used for the production of meat or dairy products or for heavy labor.

D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012395 Rose Bengal A bright bluish pink compound that has been used as a dye, biological stain, and diagnostic aid. Rose Bengal Sodium I 125,Rose Bengal Sodium I 131,Bengal, Rose
