“…and Anaplasma spp. were considerably higher than those recently reported for Costa Rica (38.2% and 6.4%, respectively [ 9 ]) and Mexico (30.8% and 9.9%, respectively [ 14 ]). This could be due to the fact that dogs were only sampled in western parts of Nicaragua, characterized by less rainfall and a higher human population density than the hot and humid Caribbean lowlands in the eastern part of the country.…”

“…For Central America, prevalence data on canine vector-borne diseases are relatively scarce. In recent years, surveys have been published for Costa Rica [ 9 11 ] and Panama [ 12 , 13 ], demonstrating a high prevalence of Ehrlichia spp., followed by Anaplasma spp. infections.…”

“…These results contribute to determining the negative relationship between feral dogs and wild animals of REPSA regarding disease transmission. Ehrlichia canis (the causative agent of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis) is the main rickettsial agent registered in dogs of the Neotropical region, with prevalence ranging between 15 and 70% (BARRANTES-GONZÁLEZ et al, 2016;MONTENEGRO et al, 2017;ROTONDANO et al, 2017;GEIGER et al, 2018;PAULINO et al, 2018). Clinical signs of an E. canis infection can be variable, depending on the strain, the immune response of the dog, and the presence of concomitant infections with other tick or flea-borne pathogens (SAINZ et al, 2015), however, no clinical signs were observed in the animals captured.…”

“…The prevalence of D. immitis was obviously difference between cats aged ≥3 years and<3 years (23/6, 8.0%/1.6%, P <0.01, OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.08–0.44), and the prevalence of D. immitis in feral cats was significantly higher than in domestic cats (24/5, 8.4%/1.4%, P <0.01, OR 0.15, 95% CI 0.06–0.36). One possible reason is that domestic cats spent more time indoors as pets than feral cats, so feral cats could be exposed for a longer time to mosquitoes, with a consequently higher chance of being bitten by the mosquitoes [ 25 , 26 ]. The prevalence of D. immitis in different rearing conditions by age and gender group between domestic cats and feral cats is shown in Table 1 .…”
