The laboratory diagnosis ismade by serological tests or isolation of the agent. We studied the prevalence of antibodies against Brucella sp.in inhabitants of rural communities of Cartago, Costa Rica, who are dedicated mainly to dairy cattle activities.We analyzed 714 representative samples with the Rose Bengal plate agglutination test (RBT) and the standardagglutination test in microplate (SAT). The overall prevalence was 0.87 %. No seroconversion was demonstratedfor seropositive individuals. Even though 71 % of the population mentioned consuming non-pasteurized milk, nostatistically significant association was found (1.09 %, IC 0.30-2.77) between milk consumption and the presenceof antibodies suggestive of infection by Brucella sp. As a brucellosis high-risk population, the absence ofsymptoms in the population agrees with the observed titers of antibodies, suggesting a low previous exposure tothe agent. Rev. Biol.
