Bovine brucellosis, an infectious disease transmitted by and , presents a significant zoonotic risk for agricultural economics and animal health. The primary objective of this study was to present a comprehensive understanding of the prevalence and features of strains within the industrial dairy farming sector in Iran. Rose Bengal plate test, standard agglutination test, and indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay tests were used to confirm all seropositive animals.

It causes abortions, reduces milk production, and infertility in infected animals. The disease is routinely diagnosed through three serological techniques, such as rose bengal plate test (RBPT), standard agglutination test (SAT), and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA).

Musculoskeletal pains are among the main complications of human brucellosis, which are often difficult to diagnose due to the variability of clinical symptoms. Brucellar discitis is a very disabling problem in some chronic forms of the disease which may lead to serious vertebral and neurological consequences.

The present study aimed to determine and compare the seroprevalence of brucellosis among rural and periurban dairy cattle farms of four Iranian provinces from 2017 to 2019. We applied different serological tests, including RBT, SAT, and iELISA to evaluate the brucellosis prevalence among 2808 dairy cattle.

It is a serious health problem in Iran causing significant economic losses therefore, control approaches to prevent its spread are of great importance. In Iran, the species and biovars of virulent species are still under-reported due to the inadequate diagnostic protocols and insufficient laboratory facilities.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the susceptibility of strains isolated from human clinical specimens against commonly used antimicrobial agents.
Materials And Methods: A total of 360 blood specimens were collected during 2016-2018 and subjected to culture and spp.
Objectives: Brucellosis is a major zoonotic disease that poses a significant public health threat worldwide. The classical bacteriological detection process used to identify spp. is difficult and time-consuming.
