Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of positive properties (focus), and
dogs with reagents for brucellosis and tuberculosis in the cities of Remigio and Barra de
Santa Rosa, state of Paraíba. We used the monthly reports of Veterinarians enabled the
Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) for the diagnosis of these diseases
in the period from January 2008 to December 2009 under the National Program for Control
and Eradication of Brucellosis and Tuberculosis Bovina (PNCEBT). We used 727 animals
of 220 properties, 146 properties in 74 Remigio and Bar in Santa Rosa. For serological
diagnosis of infection by Brucella abortus, the test buffered acidified antigen (TAA) was
used as a screening test and test 2-mercaptoethanol was used as confirmatory. The
diagnosis of tuberculosis was made by the intradermal allergy test, the test being used as a
simple cervical screening test, and the comparative cervical test as a confirmatory test. In
Remigio, the evidence buffered acidified antigen and 2-mercaptoethanol, two animals were
positive (0.43%), and the comparative cervical test for tuberculosis, one animal was
positive (0.22%). Two properties were considered to focus, where one animal showed a
positive for brucellosis (0.68%) and one for tuberculosis (0.68%), and other property had an
animal for brucellosis reagent (0.68%). The two properties positive for brucellosis
amounted to a total of two (1.36%) positive animals. In Barra de Santa Rosa did not find
positive animals during the period.
