A sporadic natural infection of sheep with Brucella abortus in a sheep breeding centre in Kano State, Nigeria, is reported. Sera and milk samples from the flock of Sudanese long- and fat-tailed sheep used for cross-breeding purposes were examined for brucellosis by the Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT), serum agglutination test (SAT) and Milk Ring test (MRT) respectively. The overall positive reactor rate to SAT was 14.5%. All 22 ewe milk samples examined by MRT were positve and Brucella abortus was cultured from 5 of the 22 ewes sampled. This is believed to be the first report of bacteriological isolation of Brucella in sheep in Kano, Nigeria.
据报道，尼日利亚卡诺州一个绵羊养殖中心发生了绵羊布鲁氏菌流产菌的散发性自然感染。分别采用玫瑰红平板试验（RBPT）、血清凝集试验（SAT）和乳环试验（MRT）对用于杂交育种的苏丹长脂尾羊群的血清和乳样进行布鲁氏菌病检测。SAT的总体阳性反应率为14.5%。通过MRT检测的所有22份母羊乳样均为阳性，并且从22份采样母羊中的5份培养出了布鲁氏菌流产菌。据信，这是尼日利亚卡诺州绵羊布鲁氏菌细菌学分离的首次报告。
