Detection of Antibodies against Bovine Brucellosis in ElHawata area, ElGadarif State, Sudan


The main objective of this research was to study bovine brucellosis in ElHawata area, ElGadarif State (2007). A total of 121 bovine sera were collected randomly from cattle of different age and breeds. Data regarding the history of the disease (frequent abortion) in the area were recorded. Samples were 1st subjected to serological investigation using Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT). Nineteen samples (15.7%) were found positive for antibodies against Brucellosis. The result was confirmed with (competitive ELISA) c-ELISA. The result of both tests was almost identical with one exception (one additional sample was found positive with c-ELISA). Only positive samples were tested with Serum Agglutination Test (SAT). The result confirmed that of c-ELISA and revealed antibody titer ranged between 17-1280. Regardless of age, the disease was detected in all groups, and it was more prevalent in cross breeds. It was concluded that bovine brucellosis is prevalent in ElHawata area, ElGadarif State, Sudan.

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease with public health and economic implications. Losses in animal production due to brucellosis include diminution of milk and meat, abortion, infertility, longer calving intervals and higher culling rates.1 The disease poses great hazard to human health specially in countries where no proper program for disease control and the microbiological quality of milk is rarely checked. The first isolation of Brucella organism from animals was made by Bang2 who was the first to report contagious abortion in cattle and other animal species and he named his isolate Bacillus abortus, which was followed by other names, including Corynebacterium abortus, Bacterium abortus and Alcaligenes abortus.

 Chemo stratigraphic Profile of a Reservoir in Well “X” of Field “Y” Offshore Southern Gabon - Stephy Publishers In a bid to evaluate the elemental and mineralogical content of reservoir samples from the “X” well in the “Y” oil field offshore Southern Gabon, analyses were performed using XRD and XRF. The log view profile of the result inferred that Na, Mg, and Calcite were absent in the shallower series of the reservoir sandstones studied, this observation implies that they are soluble ions that had eroded and refer to warm and humid paleoclimate and a depositional environment that is arid, which corresponds to the continental crust as their source. The plot of Ti and FeO+Mg discriminate the deeper series of the reservoir sandstone samples from the shallower samples. The lower series showed heavier values which implies their origin from Oceanic Crust. These are also the pre-salt facies while the shallower series were more of continental origin and represent the post-salt facies. https:

 Resilience, Risk-Taking Behavior and Aggression among Female Volleyball Players – a Preliminary Study The aim of the current study is to investigate the level of risk-taking behavior, resilience and aggression in female volleyball players and the link between these psychological variables and coach’s performance ranking. A Romanian volleyball team ranked 7th out of 11 in the A1 league in the national championship (2022-2023 period) participated at the study. The Romanian adaptation of the Brief Resilience Scale, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski’s Stimulating and Instrumental Risk Questionnaire, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski's Aggression Questionnaire and Delphi method (evaluation of female volleyball players by coaches) were used. Analysis of the results reveals that athletes have a low level of perseverance (Go-Ahead factor), a low level of Foul play and a moderate to low level of assertiveness. Also, most athletes registered average or even low levels of resilience
