The first-time isolation of Brucella canis from two aborted bitches in a kennel in Turkey

Abstract

Brucella canis is defined as the specific agent that is responsible for canine brucellosis. In this study, B. canis was isolated and identified from the clinical materials belonging to 2 dogs kept in a breeding kennel in Turkey and brought to the researchers' clinic with abortion complaints. With this study, for the first time ever, B. canis isolation and identification was made from dogs that aborted in a kennel. This study emphasizes the necessity to consider and evaluate dog abortions that occur for unspecified reasons within the scope of brucellosis.

Evaluation of Three Serological Tests for Diagnosis of Canine Brucellosis

“…Observed seroprevalence ranged from moderate to high [ 12 ], especially among stray dog population [ 13 , 14 ]. Cases have also been reported in European countries, such as Germany [ 15 , 16 ], Hungary [ 17 ], Sweden [ 18 ], Switzerland [ 19 ], and the United Kingdom [ 20 , 21 ], further confirming the need for the implementation of disease surveillance activities in European countries [ 13 , 14 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Due to its zoonotic potential, canine brucellosis also represents a Public Health issue.…”

Canine brucellosis: A bibliometric analysis based on scopus and web of science databases

“…used to understand the disease and determine optimum diagnostic strategies (Daly et al, 2020;Hinić et al, 2008;Holst et al, 2012;Keid et al, 2009;López-Goñi et al, 2011;Saytekı ̇n et al, 2018). These approaches can be combined and analyzed using bibliometric analysis methods.…”
