SCENARIO #3

A dog is presented to you for a breeding exam. She recently aborted her litter at 50 days gestation, two weeks ago. She is at your clinic today because of a persistent vaginal discharge. You take vaginal swab samples for cytology and culture and sensitivity and send the samples off for evaluation. While waiting for the results (it's been 3 weeks already), you come down with what you assume is the flu (chills, headache, fatigue). You finally get the results back from the lab with the dog’s culture results, which found these organisms.

Which of the following possible causes of abortion in this dog is zoonotic?

Hint: here is a picture of it
