Abstract. While serological tests are essential in surveillance and control programs of animal diseases, to date none of the common serological tests approved in the EU (complement fixation test or Rose-Bengal test) has been shown to be reliable in routine individual diagnosis of porcine brucellosis, and some more recent tests like ELISA have not been fully evaluated yet. In the absence of a gold standard, this study allowed the estimation of sensitivities and specificities of these tests with a Bayesian approach using Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms.. The pig population that was tested included 6422 animals from Metropolitan France. Serum samples were collected from a large population of pigs, representative of European swine population and tested with five brucellosis serological tests: Rose-Bengal test (RBT), fluorescence polarization assay (FPA), indirect ELISA (I-ELISA) and two competitive ELISAs (C-ELISA). The sensitivity and the specificity of each test were estimated. When doubtful results were excluded, the most sensitive and specific test was C-ELISA2 (Se C-ELISA2 = 0.964, [0.907; 0.994], 95% credibility interval (CrI); Sp C-ELISA2 = 0.996, [0.982; 1.0], 95% CrI). When doubtful results were considered as negative, C-ELISA2 was still the most sensitive and specific test (Se C-ELISA2 = 0.960, [0.896; 0.994], 95% CrI and Sp C-ELISA2 = 0.994, [0.977; 0.999], 95% CrI). The same conclusions were reached when doubtful results were considered as positive (Se C-ELISA2 = 0.963, [0.904, 0.994], 95% CrI and Sp C-ELISA2 = 0.996, [0.986; 1.0], 95% CrI).
