ABSTRACT
Studies were carried out to detect the antibodies against zoonotic intracellular bacterial infections viz., brucellosis, listeriosis and tuberculosis in abattoir associated personnel employing dot-ELISA. Out of 165 serum samples tested 25.5, 40.0 and 10.9 per cent were detected as positive for brucellosis, listeriosis and tuberculosis, respectively. Immunodetection of these occupationally exposed persons for IgM as well as IgG antibodies revealed positivity for IgM, IgG and IgM + IgG in 8.5, 17.6 and 13.9 per cent for listeriosis and 5.5, 2.4 and 3.0 for tuberculosis respectively. Antibodies against brucellosis and listeriosis both were detected in 10.9 per cent persons, while 6.7 per cent persons were positive for both listeriosis and tuberculosis. No person was found positive with both brucellosis and tuberculosis. All the three infections were detected in 3.6 per cent persons.
