Abstract: Brucella canis is one of the six classical species of Brucella. It is a natural rough type with weak virulence. For a long time, the harm of Brucella canis has been ignored because of its low pathogenicity to human. Since it was found in the United States in 1966, it has spread to many places in the world. With the continuous development of the kennel industry and the increasing number of pet dogs, the incidence rate of canine brucellosis caused by Brucella canis has been increasing. In some areas, it has become an epidemic disease, and the threat to the public health security of human society is also increasing. There is no reliable diagnosis and effective vaccine for canine brucellosis caused by Brucella canis. In view of this, on the basis of consulting the relevant literature, this paper reviewed the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenic mechanism, test method, vaccine of Brucella canis, in order to provide meaningful reference for the prevention and control of canine brucellosis caused by Brucella canis.

Key words: Brucella canis; epidemiology; pathogenic mechanism; test method; vaccine
