A serological survey of brucellosis in cattle and buffalo was performed in 23 States of India. A total of 30,437 bovine samples, comprising 23,284 cattle and 7,153 buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), were screened. The screening initially used the rose bengal plate test: doubtful and positive samples were then titrated in the serum tube agglutination test. The overall prevalence rate of antibodies was 1.9% in cattle and 1.8% in buffalo. In a detailed study of 47 organised farms in the southern State of Karnataka, 207 of 4,995 (4.1%) serum samples from cattle showed titres for brucellosis. This result was in contrast to the low rate of seropositive results reported in cattle owned by individual farmers in Karnataka (0.7% of 2,424 serum samples). In organised farms with a history of abortion, placenta retention and repeat breeding, the prevalence rate was 17%.
在印度的23个邦对牛和水牛进行了布鲁氏菌病血清学调查。共筛查了30437份牛样本，其中包括23284头牛和7153头水牛（水牛属）。筛查最初采用玫瑰红平板试验：然后对可疑和阳性样本进行血清试管凝集试验滴定。牛的抗体总体流行率为1.9%，水牛为1.8%。在对南部卡纳塔克邦的47个规模化养殖场进行的详细研究中，4995份牛血清样本中有207份（4.1%）布鲁氏菌病检测呈阳性。这一结果与卡纳塔克邦个体养殖户牛群中血清阳性率较低的报告形成对比（2424份血清样本中的0.7%）。在有流产、胎盘滞留和重复配种病史的规模化养殖场中，流行率为17%。
