One hundred blood samples (55 sheep and45 goats) (include 79 females and 21 males)were selected from
farms suffer from brucellosis and examined serologically by Buffered Acidified plate Antigen Test
(BAPAT), Rose Bengal plate Antigen test (RBPAT) , Tube Agglutination test (TAT), Complement Fixation
Test (CFT) and Immunochromatography assay (ICA). The results of BAPAT were (61.81%) and (73.33%),
RBPAT& TAT were (61.81%) and (66.66%) and CFT &ICA were (60%) and (66.66%) in sheep and goats
respectively for all tests. Moreover, the positive reactors in females among sheep and goats were (79.1%),
(76.56%), (81.25%), (80.95%) and (79.36%) using BAPAT, RBPAT, TAT, CFT and ICA respectively. The
sensitivity, specificity and agreement of BAPAT with CFT in sheep and goats were (92.06%, 75.67%, 86%)
respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and agreement of RBPT with CFT in sheep and goats were
(88.88%, 78.37%, 85%) respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and agreement of TAT with CFT in sheep
and goats were (84.12%, 70.27%, 79%) respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and agreement of ICA with
CFT in sheep and goats were (98.41%, 97.29%, 98%) respectively. The sensitivity, specificity of CFT was
100%. In conclusion the ICA proved to be the most accurate, cheapest, rapid and simplest test for diagnosis
of ovine brucellosis.

PCR is an In vitro technique involving multiple rounds of DNA synthesis with a bacterial polymerase enzyme that is resistant to heat denaturation. A polymerase is a naturally occurring enzyme, that catalyzes the formation and repair of DNA (and RNA). Kary B. Mullis, who was awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for chemistry for PCR. Kary Mullis conceived of a way to start and stop a polymerase’s action at specific points along a single strand of DNA.
