among buffaloes in Basra governorate, via examination of serum samples from 250
she buffaloes reared in different Basra reigns. Sera were examined firstly by rose
Bengal test (RBT) followed by indirect enzyme linked immunsorbent assay (Elisa).

27(10.8%) positive against Brucella abortus antigen.
Elisa test was performed on 88 sera samples that included a 27 RBT positive

sera for Brucella abortus. According to the regions of Basra Governorate the

5(4,4%), Al Dear 4(3.5), Al Zubair 3(2.6%), Al Medaina 2(1.76%) and Al Tanooma
1(0.88%). More over, infection in older animals found more significant ( P < 0.05)
than in youngness, beside that infection rate were high in pregnant buffaloes in
