- Abstract:
- In the Melut district, South Sudan human and animal blood samples were investigated for Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis. 9.2% of the investigated cattle and 16.2% of the green long-tailed monkies were Brucella abortus-positive. School children revealed a 3.7% positivity rate, Melut's hospital patients 5.2% and village children and adults 2.2%. However, only a small number of hospital patients was investigated. A small percentage of sheep and goats was investigated for Brucella melitensis revealing 12% positive results. 8.7% of cattle were positive. 2.2% of school children reacted in high titers against Brucella melitensis, 5.2% of Melut's patients and in the Melut district 3.6% of children and adults.
