Severe granulomatous nephritis caused by Brucella suis biotype 4 was found in a barren ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) from Northwest Territories, Canada. A review of the distribution of human and animal cases of brucellosis in northern Canada indicated that B. suis biotype 4 is distributed widely and is probably enzootic in most Canadian caribou herds.
在加拿大西北地区一头野生驯鹿（格陵兰驯鹿）身上发现了由4型猪布鲁氏菌引起的严重肉芽肿性肾炎。对加拿大北部人类和动物布鲁氏菌病病例分布的回顾表明，4型猪布鲁氏菌分布广泛，可能在加拿大大多数驯鹿种群中呈地方流行性。
