对1993年至1995年在秘鲁近海渔业中采集的58只齿目动物和1997年至1999年在地中海西班牙海岸搁浅的24只鲸目动物的血清进行了布氏杆菌种抗体竞争性和间接ELISA(Celisa和iEL ISA)的检测。在来自秘鲁的动物中，27只中有21只(77.8%)的暗纹夜蛾、6只斑潜蝇中的3只、2只近岸和2只近岸大斑羚和5只(25%)刺斑金龟在Celisa中呈阳性。在16个蓝氏杆菌中的两个(12.5%)和来自地中海的两个树干杆菌中的一个中也发现了布鲁氏菌抗体。这些数据首次证明南太平洋和地中海存在鲸类布鲁氏菌。
Sera from 58 odontocetes taken in fisheries off Peru in 1993 to 1995 and from 24-cetaceans stranded along the Spanish coast of the Mediterranean in 1997 to 1999 were tested for the presence of Brucella species antibodies in competitive and indirect ELISAS (cELISA and iELISA). Among the animals from Peru, 21 of 27 (77.8 per cent) Lagenorhynchus obscurus, three of six Delphinus capensis, one of two inshore and two of three offshore Tursiops truncatus and five of 20 (25 per cent) Phocoena spinipinnis were positive in the cELISA. Brucella species antibodies were also observed in two of 16 (12.5 per cent) Stenella coeruleoalba and in one of two T truncatus from the Mediterranean. These data provide the first evidence for the presence of cetacean brucellae in the south Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
