Brucellosis is one of the most important diseases which affect animals and man in most countries of the world. Employing serological tests for Assessment of antibody response play a major role in the routine diagnosis of brucellosis.The diagnostic serological tests used in the present study were (BAPAT) and (RBPT) as a qualitative screening test, (SAT) as a standard quantitative test, beside (MRT) on milk derived from some lactating animals as a confirmatory test along with (Rivanol Test) which was applied on positive serum samples to SAT for accurate diagnosis. The rate of brucellosis in cows reached 6.1%, 6.7%, 2.8%, 4.2%, 2.7 and 5.3% respectively in Giza, Fayoum, Benisweif, Assuit, Sohag and the Total, using SAT. Moreover, the rate of brucellosis among buffaloes in Giza, Fayoum, Benisweif, Assuit, Sohag and the total reached 3.2%, 3.1%, 2.5%, 3%, 1.1% and 2.7% respectively, furthermore, using the same test on the sera derived from sheep and goats revealed that brucellosis reached 8.9%, 12.9%, 9.9%, 11.3%, 6.9% & 9.7% % in sheep but 5.6%, 8.2%, 7.4%, 9.4%, 9.7% & 8.2% in goats maintained in flocks belonging to Giza, Fayoum, Benisweif, Assuit, Sohag and the last percentage showed the Total, while the percentage of brucellosis reached 6.7%, 0% & 0% in Giza, Assuit, Sohag &Total among the examined camels
