Page No. : 123-125
ABSTRACT
A total of 733 human serum samples collected from Thrissur, Kerala were screened for brucellosis using rose bengal plate test (RBPT) and standard tube agglutination test (STAT).

A seropositivity of 1.47% and 1.07% was recorded by RBPT and STAT, respectively. Whereas MET, HIT and EAT recorded seropositivity of 0.8%.Keywords: Brucella, EAT, MAT, RBPT, STAT
