摘要
Brucellosis, a widespread zoonotic disease is caused by Brucella melitensis in goats. The disease has great significance because of its transmission to animal owners and consumers, through either direct contact with infected animals or consumption of contaminated milk (Abeer, et al. 2003). Caprine Brucellosis due to B. melitensis is widespread in India and is the major cause of abortion in goats (Das et al. 1961; Ghosh and Verma, 1985). Absence of any information on the prevalence of brucellosis in goats in Tamil Nadu has emphasized the need for the present investigation.
