The Brucellosis Rapid Test is a fast and accurate test for canine brucellosis. This brucellosis test kit gives results in as little as 5 to 10 minutes and tests for Brucella bacteria or their antibodies. Get accurate results using 10 uL blood sample.
Canine brucellosis is a bacterial disease that is found world-wide. It is an increasing concern in North America due to importation of infected breeding dogs and semen for artificial insemination. It can lead to reproductive problems such as infertility, abortion or weak puppies that die shortly after birth. Dog breeding programs with infertility or abortion concerns should promptly test dogs. All breeding programs should have a routine testing schedule, especially for any new dogs. Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease, which means infected dogs can infect people. The disease is most common in sexually intact adult dogs.
