Abstract

Brucellosis is an important disease in Brazilian livestock. Among the agents of this disease, the most relevant in Brazil is Brucella abortus. This study aimed to investigate antibodies against Brucella abortus in sheep of the mid-north of Mato Grosso State, Brazil, through the detection of antibodies anti-Brucella abortus in 255 sheep by Buffered Acidified Antigen. According to the results, there was a frequence of 3.53% of soropositive sheep in region, with 3.72% positive females and 2.5% males. The municipality with the highest prevalence in this survey was Sinop (5.55%). The results presented high occurrence of antibodies anti-Brucella abortus in sheep from mid-north region of Mato Grosso State, Brazil. By the way, the success of the Brucellosis Animal Sanity Program (PNCEBT) can be affected, due to the commonly associated breeding of sheep and cattle and the risk in public health.
