The first-time isolation of Brucella canis from two aborted bitches in a kennel in Turkey
Brucella canis is defined as the specific agent that is responsible for canine brucellosis. In this study, B. canis was isolated and
identified from the clinical materials belonging to 2 dogs kept in a breeding kennel in Turkey and brought to the researchers? clinic with
abortion complaints. With this study, for the first time ever, B. canis isolation and identification was made from dogs that aborted in a
kennel. This study emphasizes
