Abstract

Canine vector-borne diseases are an important group of illnesses affecting dogs around the world. The transmission of these diseases to the dogs is through different arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, lice, triatomines, mosquitoes, tabanids, and phlebotomine sand flies. For the period of years 2014–2016 we made 160 tests for these diseases. Twelve of these animals were positive for Dirofilaria immitis, 14 were positive for Anaplasmosis and 10 of them were positive for Ehrlichiosis. There were no positive tests for Lime disease. Part of these animals was treated through a specific therapy according to their condition.
