Brucellosis
|
Both male and female fertility is affected by Brucella Canis! Any dog affected with testicular issues and infertility
should have B. canis in the health screening test. Any dog brought into the our kennel for breeding should have Brucella testing
to protect our breeding stock.
Testing involves serum sent to a lab and the MOST ACCURATE TEST is
the PCR test done at KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY & IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY. Other test for B. canis have had issues with
false positives and negatives not seen with the PCR test that detects the Brucella DNA. If you have a positive test,
you can be assured it is positive and, likewise the negative is negative, no repeat testing is needed to prove the test results.
