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.

Having This One Particular Blood Type Can Help Protect You From Severe Malaria - ScienceAlert

Nearly  half the world's population is at risk of malaria, one of the most deadly diseases known to humankind. Each year it claims  over 400,000 lives, most of whom are children younger than age five. While it's possible to vaccinate against malaria, virtually all of these cases are in the African region, where protection is often nothing more than a roll of the dice. Now, a recent  analysis  of 23 papers suggests those with blood type O have the genetic odds stacked in their favour. In sub-Saharan Africa, where severe malaria - caused by the  Plasmodium falciparum  parasite  - is endemic, there are far more individuals with blood type O than anywhere in Europe or the US. In Nigeria alone, where 97 percent of the country is at risk of malaria, more than half the population belongs to this blood group. In Ethiopia and many others, the numbers are similar. Rather than a coincidence, co-author and epidemiologist Abraham Degarege Mengist from Robert Stempel College of Publi
