چکیده
Brucella canis is a facultative intracellular pathogen that preferentially infects members of the Canidae family. Here, we report the genome sequencing of two Brucella canis strains isolated from humans and one isolated from a dog host.

* Correspondence: [email protected] Brucella canis is an etiological agent of canine brucellosis, a zoonotic disease that can be transmitted to humans. B. canis is associated with dogs, which are its natural host. In some cases, dogs can also be infected with other Brucella species such as B. abortus, B. melitensis, and B. suis; however, B. canis is the primary etiological agent responsible for can...

An imported dog was confirmed to be positive with canine brucellosis in Sweden in 2010. The whole genome of Brucella canis SVA10 was subjected to phage analysis (WGS-PA) and was assigned to the Asian B. canis cluster. Further analysis indicated that the genome of B. canis SVA10 is smaller compared to genomes of the same species. A 35,781 bp genomic island (GI) was found to be absent in strain S...

Background Brucella canis is a pathogenic bacterium that causes brucellosis in dogs, and its zoonotic potential has been increasing in recent years. B. canis is a rare source of human brucellosis in China, where Brucella melitensis has been the major pathogen associated with human brucellosis outbreaks. In late 2011, a case of a B. canis infection was detected in a human patient in Zhejiang Pro...

متن کاملA serological survey on Brucella canis in companion dogs in Ahvaz
Canine brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Brucella canis. This bacterium can be transmitted to humans as well as other dogs. It is a significant cause of reproductive failure, predominantly in kennels. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of Brucella canis infection in companion dogs referred to the Veterinary Hospital of Shahid Chamran University of Ahv...
