How does canine brucellosis spread to humans from dogs?
The risk of acquiring canine brucellosis from a dog is very low in most situations. Canine brucellosis can spread to humans by close contact with secretions from the reproductive tract, such as aborted puppies, urine, or vaginal secretions from infected dogs. Infection usually results when infected tissues or secretions come in contact with broken skin or are accidentally ingested.
