A study was done to investigate the incidence of Brucella abortus in Camels in different districts of South Punjab. Brucellosis is a disease that affects a variety of animals, including humans, and it is more severe in humans than in animals. Because of its zoonotic nature, it poses a significant threat to human health. In this study, we tested n = 170 sera samples and n = 60 milk samples from camels in four districts of Pakistan's South Punjab province. Different diagnostic test was used to investigate the efficacy of detecting Brucella in the blood of infected animals after serum samples were proven to be positive for B. abortus by serology. Serological techniques such as the c-ELISA, Serum Agglutination Test, and Rose Bengal Plate Test were used to diagnose Brucella abortus. The screening tests employed were the Rose Bengal Plate Test, serum agglutination test, and competitive-ELISA (c-ELISA), and the overall prevalence of brucellosis was found to be 18.24%, 18.24%, and 12.94%, respectively, by the RBPT, SAT, and c-ELISA tests. RBPT and SAT tests revealed that females 20% had a higher prevalence than males 16.47%. Antibodies to the infection were detected in milk samples, however none of the samples were determined to be brucellosis diagnostic. According to the findings, brucellosis is widespread among camels in the studied areas.
