What Is Canine Brucellosis
Canine brucellosis is a contagious bacterial infection of dogs caused by Brucella canis. It is best known for causing abortion, infertility, and hidden inflammation in many tissues, and most infections are silent. The greatest risk comes from infected pregnant females, which shed huge numbers of bacteria in the fetus, fluids, and afterbirth at 40-50 days of pregnancy. The disease can also infect people, so strict hygiene is essential. Diagnosis combines bacterial culture with blood tests, and affected dogs are usually isolated or euthanized; breeding stock should be tested before mating to keep the infection out of a kennel.
