DETERMINATION OF THE BRUCELLA ABORTUS SEROPOSITIVITY IN BOVINE LIVESTOCK IN AGUAZUL- CASANARE

DETERMINACIÓN DE LA SEROPOSITIVIDAD DE BRUCELLA ABORTUS EN GANADO BOVINO DE AGUAZUL- CASANARE

Bovine Brucellosis is a contagious bacterial and infectious disease caused by Brucella Abortus. This pathogen is commonly transmitted through the ingestion of fodder and contaminated water with infected vaginal discharges; producing a chronic infection, sometimes asymptomatic but resulting in the condition of the bovine reproductive system, leading to economic repercussions of agribusiness.

The present study was conducted in order to determine the seropositivity of Brucella abortus in 26,187 samples of blood serum from cattle from 260 aguazul farms, Casanare obtained between 2013 and 2015, through five samplings and performing three serological techniques (flare rose, polarized fluorescence and competitive ELISA).

The results obtained in this study regarding the total seropositivity of bovine brucellosis were 1%; which corresponds mainly to females younger than 24 months, and 37 to 48 months. In males, it corresponds mostly to the ages between 57 to 68 months.

Following the results, the group suggests that for future research, the factors that contribute to the presence of seropositivity in livestock and their spread should be strengthened
