Official Brucellosis Tests

Короткий зміст

We are amending the brucellosis regulations by adding the D- Tec Brucella A test to the list of official tests for determining the brucellosis disease status of test-eligible cattle and bison. We are taking this action because the D-Tec Brucella A test has exhibited a high degree of specificity in identifying Brucella abortus antibodies. Adding the D-Tec Brucella A test to the list of official tests for brucellosis in cattle and bison will help prevent the spread of the disease by making available an additional means by which animal health personnel may obtain timely and accurate diagnoses of brucellosis.
