Luís Cardoso, Cláudio Mendão, Luís Madeira de Carvalho Parasites & Vectors 2012, 5:62 (27 March 2012) This article is part of a collection on 7th Symposium on Canine... Seroprevalence of infection with or exposure to Dirofilaria immitis, Ehrlichia canis, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma spp. and Leishmania infantum was assessed in dogs from Portugal. Results are expected to give veterinarians and public health authorities an increased awareness on canine vector-borne diseases and to promote control actions.

Serological results from dogs tested using Ehrlichia species-specific peptides revealed the geographic distribution of these organisms in the Eastern half of the U.S. and provided a gauge of the potential risk for human infection with these tick-transmitted pathogens.
