Treatment

Prognosis

  • Canine brucellosis:
    • Caused by B. canis
    • Rough therefore lower virulence - mild or asymptomatic infections
    • Abortions, decreased fertility, reduced litter sizes, neonatal mortality
    • Orchitis and epididymitis causing infertility in male dogs
    • Infertility may be permanent if chronic infection
    • Slide agglutination, ELISA, agar gel immunodiffusion
    • Neuter infected animals
