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.

Short report
First case of Anaplasma platys infection in a dog from Croatia Viktor Dyachenko, Nikola Pantchev, Hans-Joerg Balzer, Ariane Meyersen, Reinhard K Straubinger Parasites & Vectors 2012, 5:49 (9 March 2012) A. platys was detected for the first time in a dog imported from Croatia to Germany. This pathogen should be considered in dogs living in or returning after travel from this area. Image: A. platys inclusion in a blood platelet

Melissa J Beall, A Rick Alleman, Ed B Breitschwerdt, Leah A Cohn, C Guillermo Couto, Michael W Dryden, Lynn C Guptill, Cristina Iazbik, Stephen A Kania, Patty Lathan, Susan E Little, Alma Roy, Katherine A Sayler, Brett A Stillman, Elizabeth G Welles, Wendy Wolfson, Michael J Yabsley Parasites & Vectors 2012, 5:29 (8 February 2012) The dog has been described as a sentinel for vector-borne infections. 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.

A survey of canine tick-borne diseases in India Puteri Azaziah Abd Rani, Peter J Irwin, Glen T Coleman, Mukulesh Gatne, Rebecca J Traub Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:141 (19 July 2011) This article is part of a collection on 6th Symposium on Canine... This study showed most prevalent canine TBD pathogen was Hepatozoon canis, and co-infections between blood pathogens are common in dogs in India. This warrants increased awareness among local veterinarians. Image:Hepatozoon gamont in a neutrophil from canine peripheral blood smear.
