genetic diversity of brucella ovis isolates from rio grande do sul, brazil, by mlva16.	ovine epididymitis is predominantly associated with brucella ovis infection. molecular characterization of brucella spp. achieved by multi-locus variable number of tandem repeats (vntr) analyses (mlva) have proved to be a powerful tool for epidemiological trace-back studies. thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of brucella ovis isolates from rio grande do sul state, brazil, by mlva16.	2014	25015223
seroprevalence of brucella ovis in rams and associated flock level risk factors in the state of rio grande do sul, brazil.	a cross-sectional study based on a planned probabilistic sampling was carried out to estimate animal and flock prevalence of brucella ovis in rams, as well as to determine risk factors at the flock level. data regarding the flocks were collected by means of a questionnaire applied on 705 farms in the state of rio grande do sul, brazil, using one-stage cluster sampling. from the 705 flocks, 20 (2.5%, ci95%: 2.0-3.1%) had at least one positive ram. at the animal level, out of 1800 rams, 52 were po ...	2015	26092724
