Seroprevalence of melioidosis in sheep and goats from selected small ruminant farms in Selangor, Malaysia
This study was designed to investigate the seroprevalence of Melioidosis in sheep and goats from selected small ruminant farms in Selangor, Malaysia. Blood samples (n=100) were collected each from sheep and goats using a random sampling technique from these farms. The serum samples were subjected to...
