Serum samples from 400 buffaloes were analyzed with the Rose Bengal test and tube agglutination test, and positive results were confirmed with the 2-mercaptoethanol test.82(20.5%),78(19.5%) and 44(11%) sera out of 400 sera samples,Showed positive reaction in rose Bengal, tube agglutination and 2-ME tests respectively. he results obtained suggest that buffaloes are a reservoir of brucellosis and play an important role in the epidemiologic pattern of this disease in southwestern of Iran.
