Abstract
Considering the lack of information about livestock diseases on Brazilian oceanic islands, the occurrence of bovine brucellosis was investigated on the island of Fernando de Noronha, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Serum samples were collected in October 2009, from all the 105 cows raised on the island at that time. These were examined concurrently using the Rose Bengal test and the Complement Fixation Test. All the samples were negative in both tests, indicating that the cows on the island were likely free from infection by smooth forms of Brucella. These results can partly be explained by the prohibition of introduction and importation of both small and large-sized animals that had been implemented through District Decree 19 of February 28, 2004.
考虑到缺乏关于巴西海洋岛屿上牲畜疾病的信息,在巴西伯南布哥州Fernando de Noronha岛上调查了牛布鲁氏菌病的发生情况。2009年10月采集了当时在岛上饲养的105头奶牛的血清样本。这些同时使用玫瑰孟加拉测试和补体固定测试进行检查。所有样本在两项检测中均呈阴性,这表明岛上的奶牛可能没有感染光滑型布鲁氏菌。这些结果的部分原因是2004年2月28日第19号区法令禁止引进和进口小型和大型动物。
