犬蜱传病原体，如犬埃利希体和犬肝虫在地中海盆地广泛存在，但在塞浦路斯从未报告或调查过。我们在这里描述了犬蜱传病原体的存在，在三个狗的临床症状与媒介传播疾病从塞浦路斯帕福斯地区兼容。分子和系统发育分析显示，塞浦路斯存在犬伊兹虫、鸭无原体、犬嗜血杆菌、沃氏巴贝斯虫和血支原体。据我们所知，一只狗同时感染了犬E.、犬H.、B. vogeli和血念珠菌，这是在狗中首次报告这种多重同时感染。在目前的研究中报告的蜱传病原体应考虑在鉴别诊断犬暴露于蜱在塞浦路斯。
Canine tick-borne pathogens such as Ehrlichia canis and Hepatozoon canis are widespread in the Mediterranean basin but have never been reported or investigated in Cyprus. We describe herein the presence of canine tick-borne pathogens in three dogs with clinical signs compatible with vector-borne diseases from Paphos area of Cyprus. Molecular and phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of E. canis, Anaplasma platys, H. canis, Babesia vogeli and Mycoplasma haemocanis in Cyprus. One dog co-infected with E. canis, H. canis, B. vogeli and M. haemocanis is, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of this multiple co-infection in dogs. The tick-borne pathogens reported in the current study should be considered in the differential diagnoses in dogs exposed to ticks in Cyprus.
