Molecular survey of Anaplasma platys and Ehrlichia canis in dogs from Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Abstract: This study investigated the frequency of infection by Anaplasma platys and Ehrlichia canis in dogs submitted to animal health centers in Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. E. canis and A. platys showed infection frequencies of 55.75% and 16.96%, respectively. The identity of the two species was confirmed by DNA sequencing.

“…was not detected in any sample. The DNA sequencing results confirmed the presence of C. bainae, E. canis, A. platys, and H. canis in ticks from Campo Grande, and the sequences were deposited in Genbank under the accession numbers shown in Table 2. A part from C. bainae, all other pathogens have been frequently reported in dogs in the region of interest (Ramos et al, 2015;Soares et al, 2017), among which E. canis stands out as the most prevalent agent and is often associated with veterinary health problems. An E. canis infection rate of 55.75% of has been described in pet dogs from Campo Grande-MS (Soares et al, 2017), as well as a rate of 8.5% in stray cats in the same region (André et al, 2015).…”

“…It should be highlighted that A. platys was one of the most frequent pathogens found in the studied ticks (19.17%), a finding which is compatible with the A. platys prevalence rate described in dogs in the region. According to Soares et al (2017), the infection frequency of dogs by A. platys in Campo Grande was 16.96% between 2007 and 2009. The high prevalence of A. platys and E. canis in dogs and ticks in the region provides evidence that the A and B haplotypes of R. sanguineus are competent vectors for both pathogens, which can be found in the same geographic areas where the tropical haplotypes (A and B) of R. sanguineus circulate.…”

“…Epidemiological studies on the etiologic agents of CME and CCT have already been carried out in several regions of Brazil (LEAL et al, 2015;MAKINO et al, 2016;SOARES et al, 2017;VIEIRA et al, 2018;LOPES et al, 2019). However, there are few studies on the molecular epidemiology of these agents in the northern region of the country.…”

“…The importance of these diseases has been highlighted by the small number of epidemiological studies that have already been carried out in the northern region of Brazil using molecular biology tools (RIBEIRO et al, 2017;SOARES et al, 2017;VIEIRA et al, 2018;PAULINO et al, 2018). Thus, the objective of our study was to determine the rates of incidence of these pathogens in domesticated and stray dogs in the municipality of Belém, Pará, Brazil.…”
