Irshad Quzy, G. N. Purohit

Abstract


The incidence of brucellosis was evaluated in a small camel farm at Al-Ain, UAE by using chromatographic immunoassay. The incidence was found to be 0.2%. The test was found to be of high accuracy and positive camels were confirmed to be having brucellosis by rose Bengal and other tests. Thus the study indicated that chromatographic kits available for diagnosis of brucellosis in cattle can be used for camels with high precision.

*2016 Journal Impact Factor was established by dividing the number of articles published in 2014 and 2015 with the number of times they are cited in 2016 based on Google Scholar, Google Search and the Microsoft Academic Search. If ‘A’ is the total number of articles published in 2014 and 2015, and ‘B’ is the number of times these articles were cited in indexed publications during 2016 then, journal impact factor = A/B.
