Conteúdo: | The occurrence of antibodies anti-Brucella ovis in sheep from Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil, and its association with sex and origin of animals were investigated. The city of Corumba was stratified as follows: 1- rural settlements; 2- marginal area of rural settlements; and 3- floodplain area. Samples were collected to diagnosis by using agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) method. An epidemiological questionnaire was made to obtain some information about production system, management and health characteristics of these flocks. In total, 1.198 animals were investigated and 12.7% (153/1198) of them had antibodies against Brucella ovis, without any significant difference (p>0.05) regarding sex. The frequency of positives was higher in strata 1 and 2. There was no difference between occurrence rate and the type of livestock, pasture type, mortality and abortions. However, this rate was significantly higher when compared to herds in relation to replacement of animals and contact with goats. The results showed that Brucella ovis infection is present in Corumba?s sheep flocks. This situation requires the adoption of sanitary measures to prevent and control the disease.
