Abstract

Backgrand & Aims: Brucellosis is zoonotic that is an infectious disease caused by brucella spp. It causes economic losses among domesticated animals used as major sources of meat and dairy products. Fever, chills, and weaknesses are manifestations of the infection. Cases occur among livestock producers, livestock markets employees, and veterinarians. The main goal of this study is to survey brucellosis in the sera of slaughterhouse and veterinary farm employees.Material and methods: Questionnaires were prepared and 205 blood samples were obtained from the employees randomly. Brucella antigen and anti human serum were purchased from Pastor Institute (Iran) and Dako (Denmark), and ELISA kit from IBL (Germany). Anti-brucella antibodies were measured from the sera by a standard agglutination test (Wright test). To determine the class of antibodies and for identification of false negative results (Blocking antibodies), Coomb’s Wright, 2ME Wright, and ELISA tests were carried out. Results: In 205 samples, Wright agglutination test was negative in 158 (77.1%), positive in 47 (23 %) and the titer was ³1/40. From the positive results, 13 (6.3%) samples had titer 1.40, 21 (10.2%) had titer 1.80, 10 (4.9%) with titer 1.160, 2 (1%) with titer 1.320 and 1 (0.5%) with titer 1.640. In Coomb’s Wright, the titer of 16 samples was ³1/640. Anti-brucella IgM antibodies were positive in 17 (8.3 %) of the samples and anti-brucella IgG antibodies were found in 27 (13.2 %) of the samples. Conclusion: The results indicated that 23% of the employees were potentially exposed to contaminated materials. The positive results indicated that at least 8.3% of the cases suffered from acute brucellosis and 13.2% suffered from sub-acute or chronic brucellosis. It is recommended to adhere biosafty and consider precautions in personal vaccine should be designed and used precautiously.
