A new set of videos shared by the EURL team
The EURL team prepared a set of videos describing the different phenotypical tests applied in bacteriology. These short videos present essential steps and tests, from treatment of samples to Brucella identification.
These new pedagogical tools have been prepared within the EURL workprogramme and have been presented during our last training sessions. They may be helpful for NRLs to train new staff or to illustrate training sessions.

First case of a person contracting Brucella canis in the UK reported
[relayed from Vet Record News, https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.00200006]
A WOMAN has reportedly become the first person in the UK to contract Brucella canis, prompting vets to call for the introduction of mandatory pre-import testing of dogs for the disease.
Having contracted the disease from a Belarusian rescue dog she was fostering, the dog owner was also forced to euthanase all her family dogs following dog-dog transmission of the infection.
Training videos for brucellosis
The EURL Team proposes a set of videos to be used during training sessions of staff for testing methods applied to Brucella.
You can use them as illustration during your training presentations.
