1000 random serum samples of pet dogs were examined in the serum tube agglutination test for antibodies to Brucella canis. Agglutinating antibodies to Br. canis antigen were detected in 18 cases in a serum dilution of 1 : 50, in 29 cases in a serum dilution of 1 : 100, in 13 cases in a serum dilution of 1 : 200 and in a serum dilution 1 : 400. But the positive results of the agglutination tests were confirmed by complement fixation, agargel-precipitation and indirect immunofluorescence only in 2 cases (0,2%) with titers of 1 :200 and 1 :400. These serological findings indicate that in the Federal Republic of Germany Br. canis infections are rarely in pet dogs as compared with dogs (Beagles) held in research kennels.
采用血清试管凝集试验对1000份随机抽取的宠物犬血清样本进行犬布鲁氏菌抗体检测。在血清稀释度为1:50时，检测到18例犬布鲁氏菌抗原凝集抗体；血清稀释度为1:100时，有29例；血清稀释度为1:200时，有13例；血清稀释度为1:400时，也有相应病例。但凝集试验的阳性结果仅在2例（0.2%）中通过补体结合、琼脂凝胶沉淀和间接免疫荧光法得到证实，其效价分别为1:200和1:400。这些血清学研究结果表明，在德意志联邦共和国，与饲养在研究犬舍的犬（比格犬）相比，宠物犬感染犬布鲁氏菌的情况很少见。
