“…Clinical signs of B. abortus in dogs vary from mild fever to orchitis and testicular atrophy with shedding of organisms in urine [95][96][97]. Dogs experimentally infected with B. suis were reported afebrile and asymptomatic without gross lesions [98], but in natural conditions hindlimb weakness, large and firm epididymitis was observed associated to oligospermia and increased number of neutrophils in semen [99] similar to what was observed in B. canis infection.…”

Brucellosis in domestic animals is a chronic disease that is characterized mainly by reproductive signs in cattle, buffaloes, pigs, sheep, goats and dogs. In females the disease is characterized by abortion, placenta retention, vaginal secretions, low fertility rate and also embryonic and neonatal death. In males, regular findings include epididymitis, orchitis, uni-or bilateral testicular atrophy, sperm abnormalities and infertility. Lymphadenopathy, hepatopathy, splenomegaly, uveitis and discospondylitis may also be observed in dogs. In horses, the typical clinical sign is characterized by a granulomatous supraspinous or supra-atlantal bursa lesion. Infected animals can also be asymptomatic. Infected symptomatic or asymptomatic animals represent an important source of infection to other animals and humans. Brucellosis in humans can cause undulant fever, malaise, insomnia, anorexia, headache, arthralgia, constipation, sexual impotence, nervousness and depression. For all species the presentation of clinical signs are only suggestive of disease infection and thus must be differentiated from other diseases.

“…[12]. Given that these positive dogs have contact with other animals of the same species and also humans, there is a concern with regard to contamination through contact with secretions with bacterial load, such as urine, faeces, vaginal secretion, and ejaculate [4].…”

“…Therefore, veterinarians do not request tests for diagnosis for brucellosis, keeping it in the environment in which the animal is inserted, whether rural or urban, lending itself as a source of infection to other animals and humans. Dogs can contract this disease when in contact with contaminated material such as meat, milk, blood, placenta or other biological materials [4].…”

The brucellosis is a cronical contagious disease that affects animals and humans, been characterized as a zoonosis. The present study aimed to the detection of brucellosis in 66 dogs examined at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia, naturally infected with Ehrlichia sp. For this study, two species of Brucella were selected, B.abortus and B.canis. For B.abortus, the disease was diagnosed with the Rose Bengal Test, confirmed by the ME-RSAT test, and the B.canis was diagnosed by a Veterinary Diagnostic commercial kit specifically for it. The prevalence of B.abortus was found in 16 of the 66 dogs evaluated (24.24%), with five confirmed by the ME-SAT test, and no reagent for B.canis. Positive animals had mainly reproductive problems. With the presented results, it can be concluded that brucellosis is a present disease in dogs and probably have being neglected by the occurrence of erlichiosis at the same time.

“…A brucelose pode também ser transmitida por fômites, e em condições de alta umidade, baixa temperatura e se luz solar, os microrganismos podem se tornar resistentes por muitos meses na agua, fetos abortados, esterco, pelos, fenos, equipamentos e roupas (MÉLO, 2013). O cão se infecta por B. abortus geralmente na zona rural, através do contato direto com bovinos infectados, ingerindo produtos de origem animal in natura, restos placentários e fetos abortados (MEGID et al 2007). No homem, a principal forma de transmissão é através da mucosa oronasal e por contato direto com secreção contaminada (HESPANHOL, 2013).…”

A Brucelose canina é uma doença antropozoonótica que tem como agente etiológico a Brucella canis, bactéria gram-negativa, classificada como rugosa. Possui distribuição mundial e acomete, preferencialmente, canídeos, embora não tenha especificidade. Dentre os sinais clínicos relatados em machos estão a epididimite e a orquite, nas fêmeas, o aborto e a redução da eficiência reprodutiva estão relacionados com a infecção. O diagnóstico é complexo e indica-se utilização de várias técnicas, devido ao fato dessa doença não possuir sinais patognomônicos e teste único padrão. Portanto utiliza-se o isolamento por hemocultura, e as técnicas sorológicas, Soro-aglutinação Rápida e Soro-aglutinação Lenta (SAR e SAL), para triagem dos animais suspeitos e a Imunodifusão em Gel de Ágar (IDGA) como teste definitivo. O diagnóstico diferencial é importante devido ao fato que infecções por diversos agentes causam sinais clínicos relacionados à redução dos índices reprodutivos, como por exemplo: Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum, Lepstopira spp e Herpesvírus canino tipo 1. O tratamento é baseado no uso de antibióticos, mas muitos animais tornam-se fonte de infecção, pois a B. canis parasita o interior das células comprometendo a atuação do fármaco e a debelação do agente. Indica-se castração e tratamento constante em animais de companhia e eutanásia em animais de canis. A prevenção é baseada em medidas sanitárias, levantamento sorológico, isolamento das fêmeas, desinfecção das instalações e eliminação dos positivos.
