Seroprevalance of Brucellosis and Q-fever in water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in Haryana state, India.

ABSTRACT: Brucellosis and Q-fever are two highly contagious bacterial diseases with significant zoonotic potential and economic threats, yet they often remain underreported and neglected in low- and middle-income countries.
