brucella seroprevalence of the kafue lechwe (kobus leche kafuensis) and black lechwe (kobus leche smithemani): exposure associated to contact with cattle.we investigated brucella seroprevalence in kafue (kobus leche kafuensis) and black (kobus leche smithemani) lechwe antelopes to assess brucella infections in relation to presence/absence of cattle interaction on the wetlands. accordingly, two study populations based on cattle interaction were assesed: kafue lechwe from kafue flats which interact with cattle; and the black lechwe with no known interaction with cattle from the bangweulu swamps. fourteen kafue lechwe and thirty black lechwe were sl ...201121536335
