Abstract

From September 2005 to January 2006, 16 canine abortions at approximately 50 days of gestation occurredcontinuously at two breeding kennels in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. A gram-negative cocobacillus was isolatedin pure culture from a fetus of a two-year old poodle dam. The isolate was identified to Brucella canis by bacteriological characterization and by the detection of BCSP31 by PCR and PCR-RFLP of omp3l gene. Theresult of tube agglutination tests of the sera for ten aborted bitches and six mated males were positive (1: 160-1: 1, 280). Positive animals (≥times;640) were removed and all the affected dogs of the kennels were orally treatedwith minocycline (10mg/kg) twice daily for 30 days. The antibodies against B. canis turned negative andthe bacteria have been eradicated at the kennels.
