Canine Brucellosis, which causes reproductive issues in dogs, can infect people through contaminated blood, urine, milk or other reproductive fluids.
Pastore abruzzese dog By Michael Brice-Saddler Michael Brice-Saddler General Assignment Reporter Email Bio Follow May 13 at 10:18 PM A small-dog commercial breeding facility in Marion County, Iowa, is the source of “multiple cases” of a canine disease that can be transmitted to humans, the state’s agriculture department said.
While it is rarely reported in humans, canine brucellosis is zoonotic — meaning it can infect people through contaminated blood, urine, milk or other reproductive fluids. Heinz said her organization, which is based in De Soto, Iowa, is in the midst of a 30-day quarantine after purchasing 32 dogs from the cited breeding facility at an auction earlier this month. The quarantine will have a dire effect on strays in the area, she said, as no dogs will be allowed in or out of the shelter for its duration.Health officials say the disease is most commonly reported in breeding facilities, where staff are trained to recognize and test for it.
She added the dogs will remain under quarantine until they can be tested again, ensuring they aren’t affected. The website for the breeder, which was based in Marion County and identified by Heinz, appears to have been taken down. Its Facebook page on Monday said it was “closed for business.”
