dc.description.abstract	The comparative performance of serological methods for diagnosing brucellosis in camels under Somali context has not been evaluated. Thus, the objective of the present study was to compare serological tests (Rose Bengal Plate Test [RBPT], modified RBPT [mRBPT], micro-Serum Agglutination Test [mSAT] and competitive Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay [cELISA]) for detection of Brucella antibodies in camel sera collected from camel herds reared in Mogadishu, Somalia. The seropositivity was 1.7% by RBPT, 3.9% by mRBPT, 3.9% by mSAT and 3.9% by cELISA. The last three tests showed excellent agreement whereas RBPT indicated moderate agreement. Moreover, the mRBPT performed well in the sensitivity compared to the standard RBPT. The standard RBPT is often reported to have a high sensitivity and recommended to use as a screening test	en_US
