title: [Brucellosis in goats in San Luis Province].
abstract: A study on goat brucellosis has been done in the province of San Luis, a semidesertic area (annual precipitation ca. 500 ml) located in the center west of Argentina. Flocks were selected by an statistical method. Blood samples were obtained from young and adult females set apart for reproduction. Sera were submitted to a fast plate agglutination test with a standard antigen. Titres were expressed in International Units per ml, accorded to the recommendations of the Centro Panamericano de Zoonosis. Results (Table 1 and 2) of 10367 examined animals showed 13.25% of reacting sera. Out of this total, 8.22% yield a titre of 25 IU per ml, 2.86% 50 UI per ml, 1.13% 100 UI per ml and 1.04% 200 UI per ml.
