Current Distribution of Selected Vector‐borne Diseases in Domestic Dogs From Bucharest, Romania

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
Serological testing of 317 dogs in Bucharest (2020‐2024) revealed an overall Canine vector‐borne diseases (CVBD) seroprevalence of 8.8%, with Dirofilaria immitis (12.62%) being the most common. Shelter and older dogs had higher infection rates. Climate change and vector expansion may influence pathogen spread, underscoring the need for enhanced ...

Successful Management of Presumed Reactivation of Neospora caninum Following Immunosuppression for Immune Thrombocytopenia in an Adult Doberman

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
Positive serology titres for Neospora caninum in the absence of appropriate clinical signs is not diagnostic for protozoal disease. Acute deterioration while immunosuppressed should raise concerns over reactivation of encysted protozoa, particularly in dogs with a history of raw feeding. Successful management of N. caninum appears possible but requires

Detection of Dirofilaria repens and Mansonella llewellyni in the United States by Wolbachia Surveillance

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In mammals, detection of Wolbachia bacteria can be used to diagnose filarial infection, while antibiotic treatment to eliminate Wolbachia can assist in eliminating filarial infections. Because Wolbachia are necessary for survival of several filarioids and closely related to Anaplasma and Ehrlichia, we analyzed Wolbachia DNA amplification by Anaplasma ...

Pet and Stray Dogs’ Contribution to Zoonotic Transmission Pathways: A Bibliometric Review

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Based on a large‐scale bibliometric dataset, domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) emerge as the most frequently cited host species in the context of zoonoses, being mentioned in at least 10% of publications for nearly a quarter of the pathogens recognized as zoonotic to humans.

A retrospective study of the aetiology of increased mean platelet volume in dogs presented to a small animal teaching hospital in Greece

open access: yesVeterinary Record Open, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2024.
Abstract Background The aetiology of increased mean platelet volume in dogs is currently uncertain. Our aim was to investigate the aetiology of increased mean platelet volume in dogs with and without thrombocytopenia. Methods The database of a teaching hospital was retrospectively searched for dogs with increased mean platelet volume (>14.4 fL) over a ...
