Summary: A study on natural Brucella abortus infection in sheep was carried out from 1983 to 1987 at the Razi Institute in Iran. A total of 636 fetuses from sheep were examined bacteriologically and B. abortus was isolated from 6 (1%) cases. All isolates were classified by biotype procedures and were B. abortus biotype 3. It was postulated that sheep may act as a reservoir of B. abortus infection for cattle.
