OBJECTIVES
As a result of extensive field-related activities, military working dogs (MWDs) have an increased occupational risk for acquiring vector-borne infectious diseases.
METHODS
Indirect fluorescent antibody, Bartonella alpha-proteobacteria growth medium enrichment culture, and 16-23S Bartonella intergenic transcribed spacer polymerase chain reaction were performed using blood, serum, or tissue specimens.
RESULTS
Endocarditis was diagnosed in three MWDs infected with Bartonella vinsonii subspecies (subsp.) berkhoffii genotype III. One dog was also infected with Bartonella rochalimae.
CONCLUSIONS
B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotype III may represent an occupational risk for MWDs that develop endocarditis or myocarditis. Comprehensive periodic screening for canine vector-borne infections, in particular occult infections caused by Bartonella spp, is prudent to avoid serious or life-threating illnesses.
目的
由于广泛的野外相关活动，军犬感染媒介传播传染病的职业风险增加。
方法
使用血液、血清或组织标本进行间接荧光抗体检测、巴尔通体α-变形菌生长培养基富集培养以及16 - 23S巴尔通体基因间隔转录间隔区聚合酶链反应。
结果
在三只感染文森巴尔通体伯克霍夫亚种（subsp.）基因型III的军犬中诊断出心内膜炎。一只犬还感染了罗氏巴尔通体。
结论
文森巴尔通体伯克霍夫亚种基因型III可能是发生心内膜炎或心肌炎的军犬的职业风险因素。对犬类媒介传播感染，特别是由巴尔通体属引起的隐匿性感染进行全面定期筛查，对于避免严重或危及生命的疾病是谨慎之举。
