Abstract

Aiming to determining brucellosis prevalence in the south region of Minas Gerais, Brazil, 1396 cows, 15 horses and 13 dogs from 41 farms positive to the ring test were tested. The serological buffered acidified antigen (BAA), slow tube serum agglutination (STSA), and 2-mercapto ethanol (2-ME) tests were used. The brucellosis prevalence was 4.66%% in cows, 33.3% in horses and 0% in dogs. It is expected that the obtained data obtained are valuable to consolidate the deployment of the National Program for Control and Eradication of Brucellosis, according to official recommendations, in the southern region of Minas Gerais.

Keywords: brucellosis, cattle, dog, horse, PNCEBT.
