Two dogs rescued from South Korea test positive for Canine Brucellosis - WDJT

WAUKESHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Two of the 26 dogs that came from South Korea in February have tested positive for Canine Brucellosis.

Those dogs and any dogs who have come in contact with them have been segregated and are being tested. 

Some of the dogs that have already been given to families have been placed in quarantine as well, HAWS says.

In total, approximately 100 dogs are likely to require quarantine.

Canine brucellosis is a reproductive disease in dogs caused by Brucella canis bacterium, mainly transmitted during breeding or birth. The infection is found worldwide but is rare in pet dogs in the United States.

Animal to human transmission of this disease is very rare.

The Wisconsin Humane Society is providing assistance by taking in dogs that would otherwise go to the affected shelters, in order to reduce the need for additional quarantine.
