Canine Brucellosis and Importance in Clinical Veterinary Medicine

Abstract

Canine brusellosis, as a contagious disease, still has an important place in dog breeding due to inadequate diagnosis and treatment. The reason behind the failure of prevention of this disease is that people do not give enough attention to it is importance in dog breeding. In this review, it is discussed how veterinarians can succeed in the diagnosis and control of Brucella canis in dogs with paying attention to a few aspects

Köpeklerde Bruselloz ve Klinisyen Veteriner Hekimlikteki Önemi

Abstract

Bulaşıcı bir hastalık olan canine brucellozis, teşhis ve tedavinin yetersiz kalması sebebiyle günümüzde halen köpek yetiştiriciliğinde önemini korumaktadır. Hastalığa gereken önemin verilmemesi hastalığın önüne geçilememesinde en önemli nedendir. Bu yazıda, klinisyen veteriner hekimlerin birkaç hususa dikkat etmeleriyle köpeklerde Brucella canis etkeninin teşhis ve kontrolünde nasıl başarıya ulaşabilecekleri konusuna değinilmiştir.
