Abstract

The research is concerned with measuring the effect of brucellosis on national exports by measuring the efficiency of the RBPT test approved as an examination of export animals.A total of 2700 samples of blood were collected from Camels intended for export with a healthy appearance, with two thousand samples (2000) from male camels, (700) samples from female camels. Examination of samples for the presence of antibodies to Brucella with the RBPT. The positive samples were examined by two confirmatory tests the SAT and the BAPA test, and finally by the cELISA.

The results were The RBPT examination excluded 21% of male camels and 26% of female camels. The SAT test was less remote for positive animals, where the percentage of deported males was 12% and females 14.5%.As for the BAPA examination, it excluded 13% of male camels, 14.5% of females. As for the cELISA test, it confirmed the positive rate of 7.4% of male camels, 7.4% of female camels.

  all tests consider to be significant because the P value ranged from .000 to .003 and all the results less than .05

Associations in the Chi-square test logistic regretionmodel were deemed significant when p≤0.05.

It is clear to us, based on the previous tests, that the Rose Bengal examination is the most efficient and quality test for field survey, as it excludes all doubtful and unconfirmed results of brucellosis.
