The serum agglutination test (SAT), the Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) and the milk ring test (MRT) were used in the diagnosis of caprine brucellosis. There was a close correlation between the SAT and RBPT when both tests were negative but the RBPT failed to detect 79.82 per cent of sera in excess of 50 iu. Also, owing to the relatively poor milking potential of the Nigerian goat and the false positive results with the MRT, it is concluded that the SAT offers a better serological diagnostic tool for caprine brucellosis in this locality.
采用血清凝集试验（SAT）、玫瑰红平板试验（RBPT）和乳环试验（MRT）诊断山羊布鲁氏菌病。当两种试验均为阴性时，SAT和RBPT之间存在密切相关性，但RBPT未能检测出超过50国际单位的79.82%的血清。此外，由于尼日利亚山羊的产奶潜力相对较低以及MRT出现假阳性结果，得出结论：SAT为本地区山羊布鲁氏菌病提供了更好的血清学诊断工具。
