| canine brucellosis in a household. | three cases of canine brucellosis from the same household were discovered during a serosurvey of privately owned dogs. one dog was found to be seropositive and culture-positive, 1 dog was seropositive, and 1 dog had suspect test results, with eye lesions suggestive of brucella canis infection. all dogs had signs seen with b canis infection, but none was pathognomonic. although pathologic findings in 2 of the dogs were consistent with findings reported by other investigators, none was conclusive ... | 1985 | 3921503 |
| [brucella canis infection in man]. | a brucella canis infection, causing recurrent fever with so-called granulomatous hepatitis and splenomegaly, was detected serologically in a 30-year-old female patient. the disease originated in an infected dog from greece which also showed a high titre. following successful initial treatment with cotrimoxazole and streptomycin the disease broke out again on two further occasions. the infection was finally cured by 4-months continuous cotrimoxazole treatment after which the brucella canis titre ... | 1986 | 3940831 |
| use of phage for the identification of brucella canis and brucella ovis cultures. | the brucella phage strains r, r/o and r/c standardised at routine test dilution on their propagating strains were effective in identifying cultures of brucella ovis and b canis and in differentiating these from other non-smooth brucella isolates. | 1985 | 3975479 |

| brucella canis infection in a woman with fever of unknown origin. | a 58-year-old woman with prolonged febrile illness was found to have brucellosis caused by brucella canis, presumably acquired through contact with infected dogs. after initial laboratory tests failed to yield a diagnosis, the disease was confirmed by the brucella agglutination test. a combination of tetracycline and streptomycin therapy was begun, and the illness resolved. b canis, a recently recognized cause of human brucellosis, must now be considered in patients with fever of unknown origin. ... | 1985 | 4048034 |

| comparative sensitivity of gel-diffusion and tube agglutination tests for the detection of brucella canis antibodies in experimentally infected dogs. | the microslide gel-diffusion and macro-tube agglutination techniques to detect brucella canis antibodies in dogs were compared. sera from dogs experimentally infected with b. canis and a random sample of dog sera with unknown histories of exposure to this organism were examined. the results of the gel-diffusion method employing specific rough brucella saline-extract antigens of b. canis and brucella ovis were comparable to those obtained by the tube agglutination test. the easily prepared, stabl ... | 1974 | 4210726 |

| experimental brucella canis infection in the monkey (macaca arctoides). | four stumptail macaque monkeys (macaca arctoides) were each inoculated with approximately 10(10) organisms from a culture of brucella canis. two animals were inoculated via the oral and conjunctival route and the other two monkeys were inoculated intravenously with the organisms. a fifth animal served as a control. blood samples were taken at weekly intervals for hematological, serological and bacterialogical studies. the monkeys were killed at five and ten weeks post-inoculation and tissues tak ... | 1972 | 4261836 |
| antigenic relationship of the gram-negative organism causing canine abortion to smooth and rough brucellae. | the use of whole-cell antigens in agglutination and agglutinin-absorption tests showed that the organism causing abortion in dogs is similar to rough brucella abortus, b. melitensis, and b. ovis, but different from smooth brucella cultures. water-soluble antigens obtained by ultrasonic treatment and examined by immuno-electrophoresis and gel diffusion show extensive cross-reactions within the genus brucella, but little or no cross-reaction with similar antigens from other gram-negative genera in ... | 1968 | 4295848 |
