Sero-prevalence and risk factors associated with occurrence of anti- < i > Brucella < /i > antibodies among slaughterhouse workers in Uganda

Conclusions and recommendationsOur study demonstrates the combined practical application of the RBT and BrucellaCapt in the diagnosis of human brucellosis in endemic settings. Both pharmaceutical (e.g., routine testing and timely therapeutic intervention), and non-pharmaceutical (e.g., higher index of suspicion of brucellosis when investigating fevers of unknown origin and observation of strict abattoir hygiene) countermeasures should be considered for control of the disease in high-risk groups.
