“…Even though the isolation of microorganism from at least one animal from a suspected population of dogs confirms Brucella infection, it does not mean that all AGID positive but blood culture negative dogs were really infected mainly because of the low specificity of the serological test (4,7,16,29,36). In a situation like that, it is imperative to considerate the herd management, as the kennels in which the dogs are kept in collective pens or whose dogs have frequent external mating, the risk of dissemination of the infection is higher when compared with populations in which the animals are kept in individual pens and the exchange of dogs is not practiced frequently (6,25).…”

“…In Brazil, epidemiological surveys of brucellosis in dogs from animal shelters of zoonosis control divisions or companion pets have been often assessed by using slide agglutination test (SAR) (2,3,8,11,12,19,21,22,25,26,27,28,33,34). However, results of application of these methods for the diagnosis of brucellosis in commercial breeding kennels are rare.…”

“…In four breeding kennels with history of abortion in metropolitan region of Botucatu, SP, Megid et al (25) The two rough species of Brucella, Brucella canis and Brucella ovis, share surface lipopolyssacharides (LPS) antigens, which can be used for the diagnosis of both canine and ovine brucellosis. Actually, the AGID test employing B. ovis LPS antigen has been extensively used to diagnose canine brucellosis.…”

Dogs from 12 commercial breeding kennels were submitted to clinical investigation and laboratorial tests for diagnosis of Brucella spp. infection. =1.48 and p=0.2230). Within 12 kennels, seven had at least one dog positive by blood culture and nine had at least one animal positive by AGID. The association of epidemiological data with direct and indirect methods of diagnosis is necessary to perform a definitive diagnosis of Brucella infection in dogs, as positive results by AGID can be consequence of non-specific reactions and must be confirmed by blood culture. Negative results by AGID must also be confirmed using direct methods of diagnosis or repeating the serologic test after 30 days, because of the low sensitivity of this test.

|The dog is considered as an important companion animal. The dogs perform a significant role in different departments also. For example police assistance, murder cases and identification of addicted medicines at airports. These functions can be performed only by healthy dogs. The infertility adversely affects the health of female dogs. The infertile bitches are unable to produce healthy and live puppies. The fertility of bitch requires the normal estrus cycle and ovulation within the reproductive tract followed by the union of sperm. The developed embryo must implant in the endometrium of uterus till the completion of pregnancy period and successful parturition. There are many causes responsible for the infertility in female dog. The common categories of infertility are structural, physiological, neoplasm and infectious agents. The objective of this review was to highlight the emerging causes of infertility.
