Abstract:

Introduction and Objectives: Brucella canis is the most prevalent Brucella spp in canine population and has been reported as an important cause of reproductive abnormalities such as abortion and fetal reabsorption in dogs. In infected males, normal morphology of sperms has been changed and sometimes epididymitis, orchitis and scrotal edema occurs. Reproductive disorders result in economic loss in breeding kennels. Other species that cause brucellosis in dogs includes B. abortus, B. melitensis and B. suis which commonly occurring through consumption of non-pasteurized dairy product in kennels. This study was aimed to determine the brucellosis frequency and its relationship with clinical findings and reproductive disorders in kennel dogs. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were taken from 90 adult dogs that were kept in breeding kennels, regardless of sex and clinical status. PCR, Rose bengal and Wright tests were used for screening. Exgene TM®GeneAll DNA extraction kit was used and PCR was performed using specific, IS711 primers. Results: Based on the results, 30 percent of the samples were Rose bengal positive, but all Wright tests reported negative. PCR was positive in 2 samples which first one belonged to a 3 years old female Rottweiler with infertility history and the other case was a 6 years old male Doberman with mating disorder, which infected by B. abortus and B. canis respectively. Conclusion: Result of this study indicates that canine brucellosis could be considered as a causative agent of reproductive disorders in breeding kennels. On the other hand, reports of B. canis infection in human population in Iran, shows that the possibilities of disease transmission to kennels personal and veterinarians and public health hazards of disease must be further considered.
