Abstract

Brucella melitensis biotype 1 was confirmed in indigenous, outbred goats in three northern districts of the KwaZulu-Natal province following the diagnosis of human Malta fever in the same area. Six foci of infection were found during an extensive serological survey involving 6266 goats carried out in most of the districts of the KwaZulu-Natal province. The prevalence in the positive herds varied between 17% and 100%. The diagnosis was confirmed by culturing milk samples from serologically positive animals. Infected goats were found in only three districts (Ubombo, Ingwavuma and Pongola) and all infected herds fell within a 50-km radius.

摘要

在夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省北部三个地区的本地杂交山羊中确诊了1型布鲁氏菌马尔他生物型，此前该地区诊断出人类马耳他热。在夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省大部分地区对6266只山羊进行的广泛血清学调查中发现了6个感染病灶。阳性畜群的患病率在17%至100%之间。通过对血清学阳性动物的牛奶样本进行培养来确诊。仅在三个地区（乌邦博、因夸武马和蓬戈拉）发现了感染山羊，所有感染畜群都在半径50公里范围内。
