Geographic Terms:	PERU
Abstract (English):	Between years 2000 and 2002 Callao province had the highest rates of Brucella melitensis infection in Peru, and goat breeding is an important economic activity. In order to know Brucellosis seroprevalence in goats, we analyzed a 175 animal sample from nine farms in Callao and Ventanilla districts, using the Bengal Rose test for screening and 2-mercapto-ethanol for confirmation. 53,7% (94) goats were more than six months old; history of vaccination was positive in 38,3% and 81,9% respectively. Using Bengal Rose test, 10/148 goats were positive in Callao, and 0/27 in Ventanilla; and, finally, only seven animals had a confirmed diagnosis of Brucella infection. Risk for human brucellosis is latent in Callao because of the presence of infected goats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Entre los años 2000-2002 la provincia de Callao presentó las tasas más elevadas de infección humana por Brucella mellitensis en el Perú, además la crianza de caprinos representa una actividad económica local importante. Con el objetivo de conocer la seroprevalencia de Brucelosis en el ganado caprino analizamos una muestra de 175 animales de nueve hatos de los distritos del Callao y Ventanilla, usando la prueba de Rosa de Bengala (RB) para descarte y el 2-mercapto-etanol para confirmación. El 53,7% (94) de las cabras fue mayor de seis meses; el antecedente de vacunación fue de 38,3% y 81,9%, respectivamente. Con RB se obtuvo 10/148 cabras positivas en Callao y 0/27 en Ventanilla; finalmente sólo siete fueron confirmadas. Persiste el riesgo de Brucelosis humana en el Callao ante la presencia de ganado caprino infectado con dicho mal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
