Canine Tick Borne Diseases

چکیده
The organisms of the Order Rickettsiales, in the families Rickettsiaceae and Anaplasmataceae, were reclassified in 2001 following phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA and groESL gene sequences (Dumler and colleagues, 2001). Some Ehrlichia spp. were transferred to the Neorickettsia genus (including E. risticii) and some Ehrlichia spp., including E. phagocytophila (also called E. equi and human granulocytic Ehrlichia) and E. platys) were placed into the genus Anaplasma. The genera Ehrlichia and Neorickettsia were transferred to the family Anaplasmataceae; the genera of Rickettsia and Orientia remained in the Rickettsiaceae. The organisms in the Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and Neorickettsia are classified genetically and by cell tropism (Monocytotropic, granulocytotropic, or thrombocytotropic).

The epidemiology of tick-borne diseases as well as the ecology of the associated tick vectors is currently undergoing dynamic change. Canine babesiosis has, to date, only been reported in the Czech Republic as an imported disease, despite the presence of an established population of D. reticulatus in the South Moravian region. A recent report of autochthonous H. canis in dogs indicates that the...
متن کاملQuantitative Factors Proposed to Influence the Prevalence of Canine Tick-Bourne Disease Agents in the United States
The Companion Animal Parasite Council hosted a meeting to identify quantifiable factors that can influence the prevalence of tick-borne disease agents among dogs in North America. This report summarizes the approach used and the factors identified for further analysis with mathematical models of canine exposure to tick-borne pathogens.
متن کاملCanine babesiosis.
Babesiosis is a tick-borne disease affecting humans and many domestic and wild animals. Domestic animals showing appreciable morbidity and mortality include dogs, cats, cattle and horses. Both canine and feline babesiosis are diseases characterised by haemolytic anaemia, icterus and haemoglobinuria.
