Abstract:
A total of 5700 samples of blood were collected from animals intended for
export with a healthy appearance, with two thousand samples (2000) from male
camels, seven hundred samples (700) from female camels, and three thousand
samples (3000) of male goats. All animals are not vaccinated.
In this research, four tests were performed on blood serum, namely examination
of samples for the presence of antibodies to Brucella with a rapid test, which is
the RosBengal RBPT test. The positive samples were examined by two
confirmatory tests, namely the SAT and the BAPA test, and finally by the
cELISA-bound enzyme competitive immunoassay.
The results were as follows: The RBPT examination excluded 21% of
male camels, 26% of female camels, and 14% of male goats. It is a very large
percentage compared to other tests. The SAT test was less remote for positive
animals, where the percentage of deported males was 12% and females 14.5%,
and goats were 3.5%.
As for the BAPA examination, it excluded 13% of male camels, 14.5% of
females, and 3.5% of goats.
As for the cELISA test, it confirmed the positive rate of 7.4% of male camels,
7.4% of female camels, and 1.5% of goats.
Statistical analyses were carried out using the Statistical Package for Social
Sciences version SPSS prevalence and cross-tabbing were computed.
Associations in the Chi-square test and logistic regression model were deemed
significant when p≤0.05.
All tests consider to be significant because the P value ranged from .000 to .003
and all the results less than .05.
