he Iowa State Veterinarian confirmed "multiple" cases of canine brucellosis, a disease that can be transmitted from infected dogs to humans and other animals.
The disease originated at a small dog commercial breeding facility in Marion County, the Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship said in a statement.
The animals and the facility are quarantined as dogs undergo testing, the department said.
While the threat to pet owners is low, "dog breeders, veterinary staff and anyone who comes in contact with blood, tissues and fluids during the birthing process may be at higher risk and should consult their primary physician," the department said.

“...canine brucellosis”
I think I had it a while back. For about a week, I had an inexplicable urge to become “Caitlyn”.
My dog licks me every day. I’m toast.
Don't screw the pooch!
Careful, Leftists may start a new “Practice Safe Beastiality” campaign for their cultists.
From a stinking puppy mill, which fortunately is going out of business.
I think maybe you meant your response to someone else? Lol-
Someone tell Democrats, no more sex with dogs.
Canine brucellosis is a contagious bacterial infection caused by the bacterium, Brucella canis (B. canis). This bacterial infection is highly contagious between dogs. Infected dogs usually develop an infection of the reproductive system, or a sexually transmitted disease.
The strain under investigation, RB51, is used in a vaccine in order to protect against more severe forms of Brucella. The bacteria can sometimes make its way into the milk of a vaccinated cow, which can cause those who drink it to develop brucellosis. One cow now removed from the herd tested positive for RB51.
Puppy Breath?
This disease in puppy mills in the Tennessee/Mississippi/Alabama area is not uncommon. Several puppy mills have had to depopulate or close down.

Bacterial disease seen to infect humans from canine (domestic dogs ) observed at canine breeding kennels in Iowa,
and is associated with international movement of dogs.
This is a confirmed transmission of the bacteria to human, which generally occurs during whelping (birth of pups),
but is know to also infect other livestock,such as sheep, cattle, goats, pigs, and others.
This bacterial infection is highly contagious between dogs, and has been instrumental in closing down several 'puppy mills'.
