- Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) in dogs pose a significant global health threat, particularly in developing countries where surveillance is lacking.
- A study involving 230 community dogs in Nepal found that 32.6% were infected with at least one TBP, with common pathogens including Ehrlichia canis and Anaplasma platys.
- The findings suggest that infections in community dogs might pose a risk for transmission to pet dogs and humans, highlighting the need for increased awareness and control measures against these zoonotic parasites.
