“…In cross breeds of HF and Jersey, the prevalence ranged from 3 to 5%. The breed wise prevalence of brucellosis is statistically significant is in good agreement with other researchers (Akbarmehr and Ghiyamirad, 2011;Khurana et al, 2012;Patel et al, 2014;Bakhtullah et al, 2014).…”

“…October 2014 | Volume 2 | Issue 10 | Page 558 (Patel et al, 2014) thus leading to an annual economic loses to the tune of US$ 58.8 million (Kollannur et al, 2007). The economic losses is because of abortions, stillbirths, reduced milk production, infertility (McDermott and Arimi, 2002) and revenue losses due to international trade impediment for animals and their products (Corbe, 2006).…”

| Bovine brucellosis is a highly contagious ubiquitous reproductive disorder of dairy animals. To assess the diagnostic assays and risk factors associated with bovine brucellosis, a systematic study was conducted in 24 organized farms, containing a total of 1359 dairy animals during the period of 2013-2014. Herd and animal level data were recorded in a structured questionnaire. Of the 1359 samples, 71 (5.22%), 82 (6.03%), 73 (5.37%) and 54 (3.97%) samples were positive by RBPT, iELISA, serum and blood PCRs respectively. Combination of iELISA and serum PCR were found most suitable to declare brucellosis status of the animals. The high brucellosis prevalence was recorded in medium sized farms (26-100 animals) than in small and large farms. Similarly, disease prevalence ranged from 6.13 to 11.42% in the age groups of 2 to 8 yrs. The disease predisposition with respect to breeds revealed that the prevalence varied from 3 to 5% in cross breeds of Holstein Friesian and Jersey, and serological and PCR tests were negative in Indian breeds such as Hallikar and Ongole cattle and Surti buffaloes. Purchase of animals without prior diagnosis, lack of awareness and routine milk testing were found as other potential risk factors for transmission of disease. The study facilitates improvisation of sensitivity of clinical surveillance system for early diagnosis and to prevent the disease transmission.

“…Seroprevalence of bovine brucellosis have been assessed at different times (Kumar et al, 2009;Chand and Chhabra, 2013;Patel et al, 2014). An overall seroprevalence of 27.95% (341/1220) and 18.11% (221/1220) of brucellosis was observed in different agro-climatic regions of Punjab by RBPT and MAT as a confirmatory test in this work which is comparable to 37.38 and 36.45% (Barbuddhe et al, 2004), 58.9 and 55.2% (Genc et al, 2005) were positive for Brucella antibodies by RBPT and STAT, respectively in Goa.…”

This cross sectional study was designed to determine the current status and prevalence of brucellosis in cattle and buffaloes. A total of 1220 animals (895 cows, 325 buffaloes) from the five agro-climatic regions of Punjab were screened for brucellosis using rose bengal plate agglutination (RBPT) and microtiter plate agglutination test (MAT), from April 2012 to May 2013. In the study population, an overall seroprevalence of brucellosis was observed as 27.95 and 18.11% by RBPT and MAT, respectively. Statistically significant (p<0.01) differences in prevalence of brucellosis among cattle and buffaloes were 23.01% (206/895), 18.21% (163/895) and 30.99% (84/325), 19.92% (54/325) by RBPT and MAT, respectively. Among the two tests applied in this present study, RBPT was found to be more sensitive than MAT.

“…Many other studies have also reported comparable prevalence of the disease throughout the country. For example, a prevalence of 11.9% of bovine brucellosis has been reported from Gujarat, western India (Patel et al, 2014). Similarly, prevalence of Brucella antibodies by an avidin biotin enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay was found to be 12.1% (true prevalence, 11.2%) in cattle and buffalo populations in Punjab state of north India (Dhand et al, 2005).…”

Brucellosis is a serious public health issue in India. Estimation of economic losses occurring due to brucellosis is required to help formulate prevention and control strategies, but has not been done in India. We estimated economic losses due to brucellosis by sourcing prevalence data from epidemiological surveys conducted in India. Data for livestock populations were obtained from official records. Probability distributions were used for many of the input parameters to account for uncertainty and variability. The analysis revealed that brucellosis in livestock is responsible for a median loss of US $ 3.4 billion (5 th -95 th percentile 2.8-4.2 billion). The disease in cattle and buffalo accounted for 95.6% of the total losses occurring due to brucellosis in livestock populations. The disease is responsible for a loss of US$ 6.8 per cattle, US$18.2 per buffalo, US$ 0.7 per sheep, US$ 0.5 per goat and US$ 0.6 per pig. These losses are additional to the economic and social consequences of the disease in humans. The results suggest that the disease causes significant economic losses in the country and should be controlled on a priority basis.Keywords: bovine brucellosis; ovine brucellosis; porcine brucellosis; economic loss; India; developing countries; zoonoses; partial budgeting 2 Highlights  This is the first systematic analysis of the economic losses occurring due to brucellosis in livestock populations in India. The analysis revealed that brucellosis in livestock is responsible for a median loss of US $ 3.4 billion (5th-95th percentile 2.8-4.2 billion). There is urgent need to formulate intervention policies for prevention and control of this disease in India.
