In Côte d'Ivoire, limited information are available on vector-borne pathogens, their prevalence and distribution. Here, we assess the occurrence and diversity of canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) in Abidjan and Yamoussoukro cities. Blood from a total of 123 dogs were tested for Leishmania infantum and Ehrlichia canis antibodies and screened for Leishmania and Trypanosoma spp., Piroplasmida, Filariidae and Anaplasmataceae by PCR and sequencing. Among dogs, 39 % were positive for at least one pathogen. Seroprevalences were: 15.4 % and 12.2 % for L. infantum and E. canis, respectively. DNA of L. infantum and T. congolense (4.1 %), Baabesia vogeli (1.6 %), Filariidae (Dirofilaria immitis, D. repens and Acanthocheilonema reconditum) (10.6 %) has been detected. Anaplasmataceae were detected in (17.1 %) and E. canis was the only identified specie. Co-infections were observed in 13.8 % of dogs: E. canis-L. infantum co-infection was the most prevalent (4.9 %). Age, breed and sex of dogs do not seem to influence infections. Village dogs were more susceptible to CVBDs than kennel dogs (PV = 0.0000008). This study reports for the first time the presence of L. infantum, B. vogeli, A. reconditum, D. immitis and D. repens in dogs from Côte d'Ivoire and determines the prevalence and diversity of CVBD pathogens. The results indicate that human and animal pathogens are abundant in Ivoirian dogs which requires attention of veterinarians, physicians and authorities against these diseases, especially against major zoonosis such as visceral leishmaniasis (L. infantum).

分子和血清学检测科特迪瓦狗血中动物和人类媒介传播的病原体。

在科特迪瓦，关于媒介传播病原体，其传播和分布的信息有限。在这里，我们评估了阿比让和亚穆苏克罗城市中犬媒传播疾病（CVBDs）的发生和多样性。测试了来自总共123只狗的血液的婴儿利什曼原虫和犬埃里希氏菌抗体，并通过PCR和测序筛选了利什曼原虫和锥虫属，Piroplasmida，Filariidae和Anaplasmataceae。在狗中，39％的至少一种病原体呈阳性。血清阳性率为：婴儿乳杆菌和犬大肠杆菌分别为15.4％和12.2％。已检测到婴儿乳杆菌和锥虫T. congolense（4.1％），巴贝斯鞭毛虫（Baabesia vogeli）（1.6％），丝虫科（Dirofilaria immitis，D.spens和棘皮甲虫）的DNA（10.6％）。在（17.1％）中检出了无形纲科，犬埃希氏菌是唯一鉴定出的物种。在13.8％的狗中观察到了共同感染：犬大肠杆菌。婴儿合并感染最为普遍（4.9％）。狗的年龄，品种和性别似乎都不会影响感染。乡村犬比犬舍犬更容易感染CVBD（PV = 0.0000008）。这项研究首次报道了来自科特迪瓦犬的婴儿中有婴儿乳杆菌，沃格利杆菌，孔雀菌，线虫和线虫的存在，并确定了CVBD病原体的流行和多样性。结果表明，在科特迪瓦犬中，人和动物的病原体丰富，需要兽医，医师和当局注意这些疾病，特别是对主要人畜共患病（如内脏利什曼病（L. infantum））的关注。狗的品种和性别似乎不影响感染。乡村犬比犬舍犬更容易感染CVBD（PV = 0.0000008）。这项研究首次报道了来自科特迪瓦犬的婴儿中有婴儿乳杆菌，沃格利杆菌，孔雀菌，线虫和线虫的存在，并确定了CVBD病原体的患病率和多样性。结果表明，在科特迪瓦犬中，人和动物的病原体丰富，需要兽医，医师和当局注意这些疾病，特别是对主要人畜共患病（如内脏利什曼病（L. infantum））的关注。狗的品种和性别似乎不影响感染。乡村犬比犬舍犬更易感染CVBD（PV = 0.0000008）。这项研究首次报道了来自科特迪瓦犬的婴儿中有婴儿乳杆菌，沃格利杆菌，孔雀菌，线虫和线虫的存在，并确定了CVBD病原体的流行和多样性。结果表明，在科特迪瓦犬中，人和动物的病原体丰富，需要兽医，医师和当局注意这些疾病，特别是对主要人畜共患病（如内脏利什曼病（L. infantum））的关注。可以从科特迪瓦的犬中捕获并确定CVBD病原体的患病率和多样性。结果表明，在科特迪瓦犬中，人和动物的病原体丰富，需要兽医，医师和当局注意这些疾病，特别是对主要人畜共患病（如内脏利什曼病（L. infantum））的关注。可以从科特迪瓦的犬中捕获并确定CVBD病原体的患病率和多样性。结果表明，在科特迪瓦犬中，人和动物的病原体丰富，需要兽医，医师和当局注意这些疾病，特别是对主要人畜共患病（如内脏利什曼病（L. infantum））的关注。
