“…Moreover, females were found to be more infected than males. Generally, there are very few males in the herds and in addition, the females abort which is one of the remarkable and visible signs of brucellosis (Tialla, 2022). Ali et al (2015), reported same findings in Punjab (Pakistan) where low seroprevalence was recorded in males (3.03%) as compared to females (10.4%).…”

Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of caprine brucellosis and identify factors influencing its persistence in Algeria. Over the span of a decade, from 2009 to 2018, a sero-epidemiological survey was undertaken, covering a significant population of 51,475 goats. The screening process involved the use of the card agglutination test to detect potential positive samples. Subsequently, positive samples were subjected to confirmation using the complement fixation test. The study revealed an average seropositivity prevalenceof 14.7% over the ten-year duration. A significant difference (P<0.05) was observed between Southern and Northern provinces, registering respective rates of 20.2% and 6.9%. Furthermore, a pronounced effect of gender was evident (P<0.05), with females exhibiting a higher infection prevalence (15.6%) compared to males (7.1%). Similarly, a significant difference was observed concerning the age of animals, with aged individuals showing a prevalence of 15.8% in contrast to young animals at 8.5%. In our current investigation, we observed thepersistence of caprine brucellosis across various provinces in Algeria. Consequently, there is a pressing need to establish and execute a comprehensive strategy aimed at combating and preventing this infection.

“…A higher seroprevalence in goats than in sheep has also been described in other countries including Ethiopia [32], Iran [33], and Kosovo [34]. However, higher prevalences were reported in sheep than goats in Burkina Faso [35] and India [36]. These variations in results from different studies can be attributed to different management systems, study designs, and sample sizes.…”

A retrospective study was conducted in 2022 to determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis and its risk factors among goat and sheep herds in the Karenga district, Karamoja region, Uganda. Sera from 332 goats and 81 sheep from 20 kraals in all seven administrative units of the district were tested using the modified Rose Bengal test (mRBT). It was determined that brucellosis was present in 20% of the small ruminant herds in the Karenga district, with an overall animal level seropositivity of 3.39% (CI: 1.87–5.62%; n = 14/413). Higher seropositivity was recorded in goats (3.92%, CI: 2.1–6.6%) than sheep (1.23%, CI: 0.03–6.69%). Similarly, seropositivity was higher in females (3.95%, CI: 2.12–6.66%) than males (1.19%, CI: 0.03–6.456), and also higher in goats and sheep more than two years old (4.15%, CI: 2.09–7.31%) than those one to two years old (1.98%, CI: 0.24–6.97%) or those less than one year old (2.13%, CI: 0.05–11.29%). Only herd size was statistically significant (p < 0.05) as a risk factor for exposure to brucellosis in the Karenga district. Although the prevalence of brucellosis among goats and sheep in the Karenga district is low, there still exists a risk to the pastoralists who closely interact with the animals and also practice risky behaviours such as consumption of uncooked or unpasteurised goat milk. There is need to expand herd health messaging in Karenga to include risk communication on brucellosis and other zoonotic diseases.

“…In any case, these assays do not outperform the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity (DSe and DSp) of the classical buffered Brucella agglutination tests (Rose Bengal [RBT], Card and Buffered Plate Agglutination tests) that do not suffer from cut-off adjustment problems [ 50 ]. There are abundant examples of these problems in the recent literature [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 61 , 62 , 66 , 68 , 71 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 ].…”

One Health is the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines to attain optimal health for people, animals and the environment, a concept that historically owes much to the study of brucellosis, including recent political and ethical considerations. Brucellosis One Health actors include Public Health and Veterinary Services, microbiologists, medical and veterinary practitioners and breeders. Brucellosis awareness, and the correct use of diagnostic, epidemiological and prophylactic tools is essential. In brucellosis, One Health implementation faces inherited and new challenges, some aggravated by global warming and the intensification of breeding to meet growing food demands. In endemic scenarios, disease awareness, stakeholder sensitization/engagement and the need to build breeder trust are unresolved issues, all made difficult by the protean characteristics of this zoonosis. Extended infrastructural weaknesses, often accentuated by geography and climate, are critically important. Capacity-building faces misconceptions derived from an uncritical adoption of control/eradication strategies applied in countries with suitable means, and requires additional reference laboratories in endemic areas. Challenges for One Health implementation includee the lack if research in species other than cattle and small ruminants, the need for a safer small ruminant vaccine, the need to fill in the infrastructure gap, the need for realistic capacity-building, the creation of reference laboratories in critical areas, and the stepwise implementation of measures not directly transposed from the so-called developed countries.
