In the modified tests, titers were increased in the PAT, SAT and 2-ME tests and positive reaction was observed in RBPT. Brucella abortus was isolated from the secretion of fistulous withers collected from one animal. These results suggest that the modified tests may be used as alternative tests to diagnose brucellosis in horses with fistulous withers.99-101poreqüinobrucelosebursite cervicalsorodiagnósticohorsebrucellosisBrucella abortusfistulous withersserodiagnosisArtigo10.1590/S0102-09352003000100015S0102-09352003000100015Acesso aberto22091243172737973221552979448328
