Abstract
To survey the epidemiology of livestock brucellosis in Guangxi Province,China,16 143 livestock serum samples collected from 14 cities during 2009 to 2011 were detected by rose bengal plate agglutination test and tube agglutination tests.Meanwhile,Brucella isolation and identification were performed from 1 070 livestock spleen,afterbirth and aborted fetus samples,and 10 viscera samples with positive serum.The serology test indicated that 1 boar serum sample in 2009 as well as 1 cattle serum sample and 8 goat serum samples in 2010 were positive,respectively.Comparison of nucleotide sequences of VirB8 gene of B.melitensis isolate with others Brucella showed that VirB8 gene was conservation among Brucella.Our results indicated that livestock quarantine inspection needs to be enhanced for prevention of Brucella's intrusion to Guangxi by livestock introduction.
