A seroprevalence study was carried out among trade cattle slaughtered at Bodija Municipal Abattoir, Ibadan (southwestern Nigeria) over a period of 3 consecutive years from 2004 to 2006 with a view to determining the breed, sex and age distribution in the seropositivity of bovine brucellosis. In total, 1642 animals were examined for antibodies to Brucella abortus using the Rose Bengal test. Seroprevalences of 6.00%, 6.17% and 5.31% were obtained in the years 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively but a decrease in 2006 shows no significant difference (P > 0.05). The role of the breed (P > 0.05), sex (P > 0.05) and age (P > 0.05) in the occurrence of the infection was not statistically significant at 5%, although higher rates were obtained for females and older animals. The trend in the disease over the 3-year period showed that it is endemic in trade cattle slaughtered in Ibadan and the public health implications of this are discussed.
2004年至2006年连续3年期间，在尼日利亚西南部伊巴丹的博迪贾市屠宰场对屠宰的交易用牛进行了血清流行率研究，以确定牛布鲁氏菌病血清阳性的品种、性别和年龄分布。总共使用玫瑰红试验对1642头动物检测了抗流产布鲁氏菌抗体。2004年、2005年和2006年的血清流行率分别为6.00%、6.17%和5.31%，但2006年的下降无显著差异（P>0.05）。感染发生中品种（P>0.05）、性别（P>0.05）和年龄（P>0.05）的作用在5%水平上无统计学意义，尽管雌性和老龄动物的感染率更高。3年期间该疾病的趋势表明，其在伊巴丹屠宰的交易用牛中呈地方流行，本文讨论了这一情况对公共卫生的影响。
