N2  - The prevalence of brucella in fection among humans in Assiut Governorate was stimated busing Rose Bengal plate test (TAT), and Enzyme linked immunosobent assay (ELISA). The seroprevalence of brucellosis among humans in Assiut Governorate was 32.3 %. Subjects professionally exposed to livestock including farmers (40.3 %) and veterinarians (18.2 %) represent a high risk group for brucella infection. The positive butcher case recorded in our study reflects the possibility of abattoir workers to attain the infection. Infections of the occupational groups including students (44.4 %), children (40 %). manual workers (14.3 %) and others (66.7%) explain the role of consumption of raw milk and milk products as well as inadequately cooked meat, liver and spleen in spreading of that zoonosis among humans
