Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis poses a significant threat to cattle production, causing economic losses and having a zoonotic potential.
- A study in Pará, Brazil, tested 1140 buffaloes using a comparative cervical test (CCT), revealing 4.65% positive cases for tuberculosis, with additional inconclusive and negative results.
- The findings suggest that CCT is an effective diagnostic tool, with good sensitivity (71.43%) and specificity (82.61%), indicating a low prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis among the tested buffaloes.

To evaluate the prevalence and possible risk factors for brucellosis caused by Brucella abortus in water buffaloes in the state of Pará, Brazil, 3,917 female buffalo serum samples from pregnant and non-pregnant animals were examined: 2,809 from Marajó Island and 1,108 from the mainland. The buffered acidified plate antigen (BAPA) screening test positively diagnosed 4.8% (188/3,917) of the animals with brucellosis, and the 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) confirmatory test affirmed 95.
