Tick-borne infectious diseases of dogs
Abstract
Tick-transmitted infections are an emerging problem in dogs. In addition to causing serious disease in traditional tropical and semi-tropical regions, they are now increasingly recognized as a cause of disease in dogs in temperate climates and urban environments. Furthermore, subclinically infected companion animals could provide a reservoir for human tick-transmitted infectious agents, such as Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Ehrlichia ewingll, the Ehrlichia phagocytophila group and Rickettsia conorii. Here, we discuss the emergence of new canine tick-transmitted diseases, which results from several factors, including the expansion of the tick range into urban and semi-urban areas worldwide, the movement of infected dogs into previously non-endemic areas, and the advent of novel molecular techniques for diagnosis and pathogen identification.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
