Screening and phylogenetic characterization of tick-borne pathogens in a population of dogs and associated ticks in Egypt

Asmaa A. Hegab et al.

Summary: The study aimed to screen and genetically identify tick-borne pathogens in dogs and associated ticks in Egypt. The prevalence of TBPs in dogs was 23.56%, with Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Babesia being the most common. The molecular prevalence rate of TBPs was 25.81% in dog blood samples and 29.17% in ticks, with various species of TBPs detected, including Hepatozoon canis and Anaplasma marginale being reported for the first time in Egypt.

Evidence of the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi in dogs and associated ticks in Egypt

R. Elhelw et al.

Summary: This study aimed to detect B. burgdorferi in different tick vectors and animal hosts. The results revealed a high prevalence of tick infestation among domesticated animals in Egypt, but a relatively low rate of B. burgdorferi infection. Molecular characterization of ticks using the ITS2 region was proven to be a reliable tool for species discrimination.

Ticks and tick-borne pathogens infecting livestock and dogs in Tchicala-Tcholoanga, Huambo Province, Angola

Gourgelia Sili et al.

Summary: In this study conducted in Tchicala-Tcholoanga, Angola in 2016, a total of 17 tick species and 15 tick-borne pathogens were identified in domestic animals. The research also reported new records of certain tick species in Angola and provided important findings regarding the prevalence of various pathogens in cattle, goats, sheep, and dogs. These pioneering findings contribute to the understanding of tick-borne diseases in Angola.

Summary: A study conducted in six countries in Africa revealed differences in tick and flea diversity in dogs, with the highest tick diversity found in Nigeria and the lowest in Namibia. There was no consistent difference between East and West Africa in terms of tick diversity.

Seroprevalence and associated risk factors for vector-borne pathogens in dogs from Egypt

Abdelfattah Selim et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of canine vector-borne diseases in Egypt, finding that 18.2% of dogs were seropositive for at least one pathogen, with Ehrlichia spp. being the most common. Risk factors included living outdoors, female sex, German Shepherd breed, tick infestation, irregular sanitation, and not using ectoparasiticides. Effective ectoparasite control strategies and regular examination of pet dogs are recommended to prevent zoonotic transmission.

Detection and analysis of tick-borne infections in communal dogs of northwest Zimbabwe

Melissa A. Kennedy et al.

Summary: Research investigated the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in domestic dogs in northwest Zimbabwe, revealing a high seroprevalence of Ehrlichia canis-specific antibodies at 73%, but only 7.5% of canines were found to be actively infected. While the organism may be present in the region, it currently affects a minority of domestic dogs.

Detection of Coxiella burnetii and Borrelia spp. DNA in Cutaneous Samples and in Household Dust in Rural Areas, Senegal

Fatou Samba Diouf et al.

Summary: The study revealed a high prevalence of Coxiella burnetii and Borrelia spp. DNA on human skin in rural areas of Senegal, indicating a significant threat of these diseases to the population. The results also highlighted the frequent contamination of these infectious agents in the domestic environment, suggesting a widespread exposure to Q fever and tick-borne borreliosis among the populations.

Epidemiological and Clinicopathological Features of Anaplasma phagocytophilum Infection in Dogs: A Systematic Review

Sarah El Hamiani Khatat et al.

Summary: Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a worldwide emerging zoonotic tick-borne pathogen with extensive genetic variability, potentially using dogs as sentinels for transmission. The bacterium infects and survives within neutrophils, inducing inflammatory injuries, and may cause acute febrile illness in dogs, complicating diagnosis and treatment with potential coinfections with other tick-borne pathogens.

Comparison of Lyme Disease in the United States and Europe

Adriana R. Marques et al.

Summary: Lyme disease is the most common tickborne disease in the United States and Europe, but the diversity of Borrelia species and strains implicated in infections varies between the two regions. Europe has a greater diversity of species causing infections, while the United States is mainly affected by one species, which may contribute to differences in clinical manifestations between the two regions.
