1 Table Serologic tests for Brucella canis in the dog Serologic test Antigen Time frame for positive results Comments 2-ME-RCAT Cell wall 8 12 weeks after infection to 3 months after the animal is abacteremic 2-ME-TAT Cell wall weeks after infection to 3 months after the animal is abacteremic AGID test Cell wall 12 weeks after infection to 4 months after the animal is abacteremic AGID test Cytoplasmic 12 weeks after infection to 36 months after the animal is abacteremic Cell wall Unknown (expect time to be similar to that observed with the TAT) Cytoplasmic Unknown (expect time to be similar to that observed with AGID-cytoplasmic) Very sensitive; false-positive results are common; few (1%) false-negative results are reported; easy and fast Semiquantitative; false-positive results are possible Test procedure is complex; more specific than 2-ME-RCAT Most specific serologic test but not sensitive, detects chronic cases when other tests give negative results Very specific, less sensitive than TAT, limited availability Very sensitive and specific, detects chronic infection, limited availability RCAT, card slide agglutination test; 2-ME, 2-mercaptoethanol; TAT, tube agglutination test; AGID, agar gel immunodiffusion;, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
