Abstract
Background: In recent years, the One Health approach and vector-borne diseases have become an increasingly topical problem around the world. In addition, climate change has a significant impact on zoonoses and public health. We present a case report of tick-borne disease in a dog.
Case description: A clinical case of Anaplasma platys infection in a 10-year-old female dog (Labrador retriever) is described. Clinical, hematological, biochemical, serological, cytological, and polymerase chain reaction tests supporting the diagnosis have been performed.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of A. platys from Bulgaria. This report adds to the overall knowledge of Anaplasma spp. in our country and the region of Southeastern Europe.
期刊介绍:
Open Veterinary Journal is a peer-reviewed international open access online and printed journal that publishes high-quality original research articles. reviews, short communications and case reports dedicated to all aspects of veterinary sciences and its related subjects. Research areas include the following: Infectious diseases of zoonotic/food-borne importance, applied biochemistry, parasitology, endocrinology, microbiology, immunology, pathology, pharmacology, physiology, epidemiology, molecular biology, immunogenetics, surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, oncology and animal reproduction. All papers are peer-reviewed. Moreover, with the presence of well-qualified group of international referees, the process of publication will be done meticulously and to the highest standards.
