“…While in the study of Volgina et al (2013) the age of negative tested dogs was lower (2.6 years), this was not observed for the present study (n = 59; 5.8 years). In another study from Spain, even higher seropositivity for E. canis and B. burgdorferi was observed in younger dogs (< 1 year) compared to adult dogs, while no differences in the rates recorded for Anaplasma spp., D. immitis or L. infantum were identified (Miró et al 2013).…”

“…The mean age of positive tested dogs in the present study (n = 108; 5.3 years) was comparable to those found for positive dogs in other studies on CVBDs (Anaplasma spp., E. canis, B. burgdorferi, D. immitis), for example 6.3 years (Volgina et al 2013) or 5 years (Villleneuve et al 2011). While in the study of Volgina et al (2013) the age of negative tested dogs was lower (2.6 years), this was not observed for the present study (n = 59; 5.8 years).…”

Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) have increasingly become a focus of interest in recent years. Some of the CVBDs are zoonotic and may therefore also represent a risk for the human population. Different factors are in discussion to explain the expansion of vectors and pathogens into formerly unaffected areas. Knowledge of the prevalence and distribution of CVBDs in Bulgaria is scant overall and most data rely on single case descriptions. The aim of the present study was to determine the seroprevalence of important CVBDs in 167 dogs from central-southern Bulgaria (Stara Zagora), with special emphasis on hitherto uninvestigated babesiosis and angiostrongylosis, on poorly investigated Lyme borreliosis and canine granulocytic anaplasmosis, and on the potentially zoonotic dirofilariosis and leishmaniosis. Relatively high prevalence rates were documented for anti-Babesia canis antibodies, Dirofilaria immitis antigen (16.2 %; 27/167 each), anti-Ehrlichia canis (21 %; 35/167) and anti-Anaplasma phagocytophilum antibodies (30.5 -46.1 %; 51 -77/167), while Borrelia burgdorferi seroprevalence was low (2.4 %; 4/167). All samples were negative for Leishmania infantum antibodies and Angiostrongylus vasorum antigen and antibodies. In total, 64.7 % (108/167) of the samples indicated infection or exposure to at least one agent and a high proportion of dual infections (39.8 %; 43/108) was demonstrated. Multiple infections with up to four different organisms were also detected. Our data underline the importance of CVBDs and especially of co-infections which could influence the clinical outcome in dogs.

“…Antibodies to A. phagocytophilum had a higher incidence than antibodies to B. burgdorferi in both the dogs and humans tested. Other studies comparing the prevalence of A. phagocytophilum and B. burgdorferi in dogs in Russia and ticks in Belgium showed similar higher incidences for Anaplasma compared to Borrelia 7,8. This observational study has important veterinary and medical implications for the public health of those members, both animal and human, living within the community.…”

Ticks are important vectors of disease and transmit an extensive array of bacterial, viral and protozoan diseases to both humans and dogs within a community. Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, has been extensively studied within both the human and veterinary population. Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an intracellular rickettsial pathogen also transmitted by ixodid ticks, has emerged as an important zoonotic infection with significant veterinary and medical implications, and is responsible for both canine granulocytic anaplasmosis and human granulocytic anaplasmosis. Multiple surveys exist in the international literature referencing infectivity rates of both of these diseases separately in both the dog and human populations. This is the first study to simultaneously examine the infectivity rate of both anaplasmosis and Lyme disease in humans and dogs in a community endemic for tick-borne diseases.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors Dirofilariaimmitis (D. immitis) infection in dogs slaughtered in Yogyakarta. A total of 151 dogs that were slaughtered from May – November 2013 were examined their heart in order to determine the presence of D. immitis infection. Blood samples were tested using Modified Knott’s Technique for microfilariae examination. The results showed that based on the heart and blood examination the prevalence of D. immitis infection was 14.6 % and 7.9 %, respectively. The risk factors for D. immitis infection were the age and origin of the dog.
