Detection of Tick Borne Zoonotic Bacteria by PCR in Dogs

The prevalence of some tick-borne zoonotic bacteria (Borrelia sp., Coxiella burnetii, and Rickettsia sp.) in dog blood samples were examined using by PCR. A total 200 collected from dogs located western Türkiye. Three pathogens for dogs, Borrelia burgdorferi, C. burnetii sp. detected samples. single PCR was performed the multiplex applied Rickettsiae spp. burgdorferi. At end study, target identified at rate 55.0% all percentage distributions according to species 1.5%, burgdorferi sensu lato 2.0% 51.5%. In this results show that may be a risk factor distribution bacteria. Tick borne create hazard human health.
