Brucellosis is a disease of veterinary and public health importance worldwide. In sub-
Saharan Africa, where this disease has been detected in several free-ranging wildlife species,
successful disease control may be dependent on accurate detection in wildlife reservoirs,
including African buffalo (Syncerus caffer). This study estimates the sensitivity and specificity...

1. Chronic infections may have negative impacts on wildlife populations, yet their effects are difficult to detect in the absence of long-term population monitoring. Brucella abortus, the bacteria responsible for bovine brucellosis, causes chronic infections and abortions in wild and domestic ungulates, but its impact on population dynamics is not...
