Summary

Brucella suis biotype 1 infection was found in pigs in Jakarta and Surabaya. The Rose Bengal Plate Test identified more infected pigs, posing a health risk to abattoir workers.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary microbiology
  • Zoonotic disease surveillance

Background:

  • Brucella suis biotype 1 is a significant swine pathogen.
  • Swine brucellosis poses a zoonotic risk to humans, particularly abattoir workers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of Brucella suis biotype 1 in pigs in Jakarta and Surabaya.
  • To compare the diagnostic efficacy of serological tests for B. suis detection.

Main Methods:

  • Bacteriological isolation from slaughtered pigs.
  • Serological testing using Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), Complement Fixation Test (CFT), and Serum Agglutination Test (SAT).

Main Results:

  • Brucella suis biotype 1 was isolated from 13.1% of pigs in Jakarta and 15.09% in Surabaya.
  • RBPT showed higher detection rates (22.3% West Java, 14.9% East Java) compared to CFT (41%) and SAT (54.5%).
  • RBPT identified 73% of infected animals, outperforming CFT (41%) and SAT (54.5%).

Conclusions:

  • High prevalence of B. suis biotype 1 in Indonesian slaughter pigs.
  • RBPT is a more sensitive screening tool for swine brucellosis.
  • Elevated infection rates present a substantial occupational health hazard for abattoir workers.
