在意大利，狗和猫面临着被不同媒介传播的病原体感染的风险，包括原生动物、细菌和蠕虫。蜱、跳蚤、白蛉和蚊子是影响猫和狗的病原体的公认载体，其中一些（例如，吞噬细胞无形体、伯氏疏螺旋体、犬复孔菌、婴儿利什曼原虫、恶丝虫和匍匐恶丝虫）是人畜共患病。最近的研究强调了跳蚤作为该国人畜共患病病原体（例如猫立克次体）载体的潜力。虽然一些节肢动物媒介（例如蜱和跳蚤）全年存在于意大利某些地区，但其他媒介（例如白蛉）在夏季最为活跃。因此，应根据不同地理区域病媒和病原体的生态情况来规划防治策略，例如系统使用杀螨剂和杀虫剂，以提高其降低病媒病原体感染风险的有效性。本文回顾了意大利犬猫媒介传播疾病的现状和前景。
In Italy, dogs and cats are at risk of becoming infected by different vector-borne pathogens, including protozoa, bacteria, and helminths. Ticks, fleas, phlebotomine sand flies, and mosquitoes are recognized vectors of pathogens affecting cats and dogs, some of which (e.g., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi, Dipylidium caninum, Leishmania infantum, Dirofilaria immitis, and Dirofilaria repens) are of zoonotic concern. Recent studies have highlighted the potential of fleas as vectors of pathogens of zoonotic relevance (e.g., Rickettsia felis) in this country. While some arthropod vectors (e.g., ticks and fleas) are present in certain Italian regions throughout the year, others (e.g., phlebotomine sand flies) are most active during the summer season. Accordingly, control strategies, such as those relying on the systematic use of acaricides and insecticides, should be planned on the basis of the ecology of both vectors and pathogens in different geographical areas in order to improve their effectiveness in reducing the risk of infection by vector-borne pathogens. This article reviews the current situation and perspectives of canine and feline vector-borne diseases in Italy.
