Brucella suis in Dogs
...dlife. Given this additional history, it was suggested to test the dog for Brucella suis. A typical B. abortus card test was performed (Figure 1), as there is documented antigenic cross-reactivity between Brucella abortus and B. suis. Both species have a smooth lipopolysaccharide cell surface and lack an O-antigen chain1. Results indicated a strong positive reaction, indicating possible antibodies against B. suis. Upon notifying the referring vete...

Brucella canis (Multiplex/Slide Agglutination Test/AGID) [Referral]
Detection of antibodies to Brucella canis, the causative agent of canine brucellosis. The Slide Agglutination Test/AGID is only available as the initial screening test for export samples. All non-export samples will be screened with the canine Brucella multiplex assay; samples with non-negative results will undergo confirmatory testing with the Slide Agglutination Test/AGID tests.

TVMDL pathologist collaborates with Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences to investigate Brucella‘s activation of RIDD pathway
...Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (CVMBS), specifically explored Brucella‘s ability to destabilize the typical phagocytosis and destruction of pathogens in lysosomes that contribute to immune defense through the activation of regulated IRE1α-dependent decay (RIDD) of mRNAs encoding BLOS1, a protein that promotes endosome-lysosome fusion. The article establishes BLOS1 as a novel immune defense factor whose activity is hijacked by diverse...

Updated Brucella canis panel offers decreased turnaround time
...agnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) has updated a panel that detects antibodies to Brucella canis, the causative agent to canine brucellosis. Previously, TVMDL’s B. canis panel was performed using an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and tube agglutination test (TAT). The updated panel will still be performed using IFA but will now also include testing using rapid slide agglutination testing (RSAT). Testing can now be performed in one to two busines...

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) Isolated from a canine testicle
...ory (TVMDL) for testing. A rapid slide agglutination test was negative for Brucella canis. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) was isolated from the testicular and scrotal tissues; both tissues were culture negative for Brucella. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is both a commensal organism of the skin and mucous membranes as well as a major pathogen of dogs. Isolation of Methicillin- resistant strains are a problem of incr...

Bovine Abortion Diagnostics find BVD
...sample at the start of testing as well. Antibody testing was negative for Brucella abortus, Histophilus somni, Neospora caninum, and 5 serovars of Leptospira spp. There was a low (8) virus neutralization (VN) antibody titer to BHV-1. The BVD VN titers were BVD 1a (2048), BVD 1b (≥4096), and BVD 2 (2048). Further investigation revealed that there were severe respiratory problems in this herd about 2 years ago. Based on this history and the evidenc...
