Swine brucellosis in Indonesia.
Brucella suis biotype 1 was isolated from 13.1% of the pigs slaughtered in Kapuk Jakarta, West Java and from 15.09% of the pigs slaughtered in Surabaya, East Java. The prevalence of B. suis by means of the Rose Bengal Plate Test, was 22.3% for West Java and 14.9% for East Java. The Rose Bengal Plate Test detected more B. suis infected animals (73% of the infected animals) than did the Complement Fixation Test (41%) and the Serum Agglutination Test (54.5%). The high infection rate is a potential health danger for the abattoir workers.
