Detection of pathogens on the brown dog tick, rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (s.l.)

To perform this study, blood samples were obtained from 953 dogs naturally infested with R. sanguineus (s.l.) ticks from three distinct localities in the Philippines (Los Baños, Laguna; Quezon City, Metro Manila; and Pasay City, Metro Manila). In the molecular detection of hemoparasites in R. sanguineus (s.l.) infested dogs, 6.40% were diagnosed positive with hemoparasites: Hepatozoon spp. (3.67%), Babesia spp. (2.00%), and Ehrlichia spp. (0.73%). R. sanguineus(s.l.) infested dogs positive with hemoparasites age range were 1?3 years old. Males (52.46%) were more infected than female (47.54%). The crossbreeds (24. 60%) were the most infected with hemoparasite. In the detection of tick-carried pathogens vectored by R. sanguineus (s.l.), 29 untreated dogs were collected with ticks. Age range were observed within 1?3 years old, there were more male 20 (68.97%) than female 9 (31.03%), and most were crossbreed (51.72%) dogs. Nested PCR total detection rate was 12.50%: Babesia spp. (2.08%), Hepatozoon spp. (2.08%), and Ehrlichia spp. (8.33%). Engorged adult female and male ticks were detected positive with the tick-carried pathogens. Co-infection of Babesia spp., Hepatozoon spp., and Ehrlichia spp. was also detected. BLASTS analysis confirmed the sequence identities of the positive tick samples as Ehrlichia canis. (Author's abstract). Veterinary medicine. Molecular detection.
