Pathological Introduction
Canine brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella in both humans and animals. It mainly causes canine brucellosis and reproductive disorders in dogs, and can also lead to intervertebral discitis, osteomyelitis, meningoencephalitis, and uveitis.
Adult dogs infected with Brucella rarely show severe clinical symptoms, or may only exhibit lymphadenitis. They may also show systemic symptoms after a latent period of 2 weeks to as long as 6 months. Pregnant bitches often miscarry between 40 to 60 days of pregnancy. Within the 1 to 6 weeks before miscarriage, infected dogs generally do not have high body temperature, but the vulva and vaginal mucosa are swollen, and there may be light brown or greyish-green discharge from the vagina.
Miscarried fetuses often exhibit partial tissue autolysis, subcutaneous edema, congestion, and subcutaneous hemorrhage in the abdominal region. In early pregnancy (10 to 20 days after mating), embryos may die and be absorbed by the mother’s body. Miscarried bitches may develop uteritis and subsequent infertility after repeated mating. Male dogs may develop orchitis, epididymitis, scrotal swelling, scrotal dermatitis, and sperm abnormalities.
