Figure 2

Blood culture and serological test results of dogs from a kennel with a suspected outbreak of canine brucellosis. To determine whether the 17 dogs from the kennel under study were infected with Brucella, whole blood samples were incubated in selective medium (BC). Additionally, dogs were serologically tested using an immunochromatographic test (ICT), the rapid slide agglutination test (RSAT), the 2-mercapthoetanol rapid slide agglutination test (2ME-RSAT) and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Positive test results are shown in dark and negative ones in light color. A few tests gave inconclusive results (i) or were not conducted (nc); ID: identification code of the dogs; G: gender (M: male, F: female); S1, S2, S3: sampling dates in March, August and November 2014, respectively; *no serum sample available.
