Abstract:
This study was conducted to estimate the seroprevalence and geographical distribution of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in eastern states of Sudan, and to identify the highly risk areas within localities of Al Gedaref, Red Sea and Kassala states. During this study a total of 1960 serum samples were collected randomly from cattle in the mentioned states. The samples were tested using Competitive ELISA (c. ELISA). The highest seroprevalence was observed in Al Gedaref state (12%), followed by Kassala (6.9%) and Red Sea state (4.1%). In Al Gedaref state; Al Galabat Eastern and El Rahad localities had scored the highest seroprevalence (17.1%). In Kassala state the highest seroprevalence was observed in Naher Atbara locality. And in Red Sea State the highest seroprevalence was observed in Sawakin locality (11.4%).
