Vector-borne diseases represent a significant part of canine infectious pathology posing serious zoonotic potential. Stray dogs are found to be an important health and ecological factor in urban areas. The objectives of the present study were to update the current knowledge on the seroprevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum/ Anaplasma platys, Ehrlichia canis, Borrelia burgdorferi and Dirofilaria immitis in stray dogs from Sofia, Bulgaria. A total of 448 apparently healthy and randomly selected dogs were tested with Anigen Rapid CaniV-4 Test Kit. Overall 28.57% (128/448) of all tested animals were positive for one or more of the pathogenic species. Total percentage was distributed as follows (single plus mix infections): Anaplasma spp. - 16.29% (73/448), D. immitis - 13.39% (60/448), Ehrlichia spp. - 1.34% (6/448) and B.burgdorferi - 0.67% (3/448). The current study demonstrated the circulation of Anaplasma spp. and D. immitis among stray dogs in Sofia, Bulgaria.
媒介传播疾病是犬类传染性病理学的重要组成部分，具有严重的人畜共患病潜力。流浪狗被发现是城市地区一个重要的健康和生态因素。本研究的目的是更新关于保加利亚索非亚流浪狗中嗜吞噬细胞无形体/扁平无形体、犬埃立克体、伯氏疏螺旋体和犬恶丝虫血清流行率的现有知识。使用Anigen Rapid CaniV-4检测试剂盒对总共448只明显健康且随机挑选的狗进行了检测。总体而言，所有检测动物中有28.57%（128/448）对一种或多种致病物种呈阳性。总百分比分布如下（单一感染加混合感染）：无形体属 - 16.29%（73/448），犬恶丝虫 - 13.39%（60/448），埃立克体属 - 1.34%（6/448），伯氏疏螺旋体 - 0.67%（3/448）。本研究证明了无形体属和犬恶丝虫在保加利亚索非亚的流浪狗中传播。
