Presence of 2 lines, including a very faint test line, indicates a positive result for Canis Brucella infection. The control line must always be present to validate the test.
Brucellosis is an infectious disease usually evidenced by reproductive failure. It often causes late-term abortion in bitches and testicular abnormalities in males. Systemic signs of disease are not usually apparent.
Brucellosis is highly contagious and is usually caused by a bacteria known as Brucella canis. This organism is transmitted by infected urine, semen, vaginal secretions and aborted fetuses. It can also infect people and, therefore, poses a public health threat. Brucella canis lives within cells. This makes it very difficult to treat infections. Simple antibiotic therapy will not cure most infected dogs and so they remain carriers for many years. All breeding stock should be periodically tested for brucellosis. Active stud dogs should be tested every six months. Brood bitches should be tested within one month of breeding. Some veterinarians believe that bitches should be tested twice before each breeding: one month and then two weeks before. A negative brucellosis test result should always be obtained before purchasing a new brood bitch or stud dog.Browse our store for canine testing products.
