Late in the program to eradicate bovine brucellosis from Western Australia, Rose Bengal test (RBT) and complement fixation test (CFT) results on the serums from 2,307 cattle (from herds where infection was still present after a minimum of 3 complete herd tests) showed that 327 were positive in the CFT and 246 were positive in the RBT (p less than 0.001). Subsequent testing by the RBT, CFT and the indirect haemolysis test (IHLT) of 722 serums from cattle slaughtered as part of infected herds showed that of 177 cattle positive on culture, 138 were positive in all 3 tests, 9 were negative in all 3 tests and no animal positive on culture had a reaction only in the RBT. In the 177 cattle from which B. abortus was isolated, positive reactions in the CFT occurred in the serums of 159 of them. Application of the RBT as a screening test followed by a confirmatory CFT would have resulted in 149 of the 177 cattle being positive and application of the CFT/IHLT (double test) on the serums of all cattle in the herds would have resulted in 168 or the 177 being regarded as positive.
在西澳大利亚根除牛布鲁氏菌病计划的后期，对2307头牛（来自经过至少3次完整牛群检测后仍存在感染的牛群）血清进行的玫瑰红试验（RBT）和补体结合试验（CFT）结果显示，327头牛CFT呈阳性，246头牛RBT呈阳性（p小于0.001）。随后，对作为感染牛群一部分被屠宰的722头牛的血清进行RBT、CFT和间接溶血试验（IHLT）检测，结果显示，在177头培养阳性的牛中，138头三项检测均呈阳性，9头三项检测均呈阴性，且培养阳性的牛中没有仅RBT呈阳性反应的。在分离出流产布鲁氏菌的177头牛中，159头牛的血清CFT呈阳性反应。将RBT作为筛查试验，随后进行确诊性CFT，177头牛中有149头会呈阳性；对牛群中所有牛的血清进行CFT/IHLT（双重试验），177头牛中有168头会被视为阳性。
