Apparent seroprevalence, isolation and identification of risk factors for brucellosis among dairy cattle in Goa, India

Highlights • High seropositivity for brucellosis was observed among dairy cattle employing RBPT and Indierct ELISA. • B. abortus biotype 1, 2 or 4 were confirmed by the AMOS PCR. • Lack of awareness about brucellosis and inadequate floor space were crucial risk factors for transmission of bovine bru...
