This research was carried out during the years 1968-1973 to find out the percentage of brucellosis in the whole number of sheep and goats abortions in Northern Greece. For this purpose the authors examined using the microscope and the cultures on suitable media 558 fetuses and by slow agglutination 35.000 samples from blood serum. The following results were obtained : Aborted fetuses : In 205 cases, that is 36.7% Brucella melitensis was isolated.
