Plain-English summary
As more dogs are brought into the UK without being checked for a bacteria called Brucella canis, veterinarians are seeing more cases of canine brucellosis, which can be passed from dogs to humans. Two veterinarians, Mark Moreton and Elizabeth McLennan-Green, shared their experiences at a veterinary conference about how to help practices deal with the risks of this infection. They discussed the importance of creating guidelines to manage these situations effectively. Their work aims to improve safety for both pets and their owners.
Abstract
With more and more dogs being imported to the UK, and no requirement for preimport screening for Brucella canis, veterinary teams are now encountering canine brucellosis on an increasingly regular basis. At BVA Live Mark Moreton and Elizabeth McLennan-Green will reflect on their experiences of developing guidance to help practices manage the risks associated with this zoonotic pathogen.
