First detection of Brucella canis infections in a breeding kennel in Austria.

چکیده
Brucella canis occurs almost worldwide and is a potential danger to the health of dogs and humans. The pathogen was detected in the placenta and fetuses of a Standard Poodle by direct culture and immunohistochemistry. Further, Brucellae were also isolated from the blood samples of two asymptomatic female Medium Poodles. The isolates were identified as B. canis by conventional microbiological methods and a novel Bruce-ladder multiplex PCR. Genotyping was performed by multiple locus variable number tandem repeats analysis (MLVA).

Canine Brucellosis Caused by Brucella Canis
Etiology and Epidemiology Canine brucellosis is caused by Brucella canis (B. canis), a rough, small, gram-negative, intracellular bacterium. Other Brucella species, i.e., B. abortus, B. suis, have occasionally caused canine infections but they are not discussed here. The canine brucella was first recognized in 1966 as a cause of abortions and reproductive failures and it has since been recogniz...
متن کاملBrucella canis: Emerging zoonotic disease? Implications for commercial breeding kennels and public health
Introduction Canine brucellosis, a contagious disease affecting all breeds of dogs, is caused by the bacteria Brucella canis, which is transmitted between dogs via venereal and oral routes. Transmission occurs mainly through vaginal secretions during estrus and whelping (in both the fetus and placenta) and via semen. Bacteria can also be found in urine, and is more commonly found there in male ...
متن کاملWithin-host evolution of Brucella canis during a canine brucellosis outbreak in a kennel
BACKGROUND Little is currently known about Brucella evolution within the host during infection. The current study is the first to employ fine-scale genotyping on an isolate collection derived from a Brucella canis outbreak. Eight isolates of B. canis, cultured from different tissues of three dogs (female, stud dog, puppy of another female) from a single kennel over three months were genetically...
متن کاملEvidence for unapparent Brucella canis infections among adults with occupational exposure to dogs.
Human serological assays designed to detect brucellosis will miss infections caused by Brucella canis, and low levels of periodic bacteremia limit diagnosis by blood culture. Recent B. canis outbreaks in dogs and concomitant illnesses in caretakers suggest that unapparent human infections may be occurring. With more than a quarter of a million persons in occupations involving dogs, and nearly 8...
متن کاملThe first case of Brucella canis in Sweden: background, case report and recommendations from a northern European perspective
Infection with Brucella canis has been diagnosed in Sweden for the first time. It was diagnosed in a three-year-old breeding bitch with reproductive disturbances. Fifteen in-contact dogs were tested repeatedly and all of them were negative for B. canis. The source of infection could not be defined. The present article describes the case and the measures undertaken and gives a short review over ...
