Development and evaluation of a species-specific PCR assay for the detection of Brucella ovis infection in rams

Brucella ovis infection is a major cause of epididymitis and infertility in rams, resulting in reproductive failure and significant economic losses worldwide. The goal of this study was to develop a PCR test targeting specific B. ovis genomic sequences. Specific primer pairs were designed targeting...
