Key messages
- Dairy cattle were predominantly infected with Brucella melitensis
- Vaccination of cattle and small ruminants recommended

- Training required for livestock keepers regarding risky practices & biosecurity measures
- Further research studies needed on epidemiology of Brucella species circulating in cattle
