Canine Heartworm Antigen & Canine Ehrlichia & Canine Lyme Disease & Canine Anaplasma Antibody Test

Canine Heartworm Disease, Canine Ehrlichiosis, Canine Lyme Disease and Canine Anaplasma Disease are common infectious diseases in dogs. Although they are caused by different pathogens and have their own characteristics, there are commonalities in some aspects.

Commonalities between canine heartworm, canine ehrlichiosis, canine lyme disease and canine anaplasma

Means of transmission

All are transmitted by vectors: canine heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes, and the other three diseases are transmitted by ticks.

Síntomas clínicos

All four diseases may cause systemic symptoms such as fever, lethargy, and weight loss.

Geographic distribution

Globally distributed, especially more common in areas where ticks and mosquitoes are active.

Differences of canine heartworm, canine ehrlichiosis, canine Lyme disease, and canine Anaplasma

Patógeno

Canine Heartworm Disease: caused by Canine Heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis).

Ehrlichiosis canina: causada por Ehrlichia canis.

Enfermedad de Lyme canina: causada por Borrelia burgdorferi.

Canine Anaplasmosis: caused by Anaplasma (Babesia spp.).

Síntomas específicos

Canine Heartworm disease: coughing, dyspnea, decreased exercise tolerance, heart failure, ascites.

Canine Ehrlichiosis: nosebleeds, bleeding tendencies, eye problems (e.g., uveitis).

Canine Lyme disease: chronic arthritis, lameness, kidney damage.

Canine Anaplasma disease: acute anemia, jaundice, splenomegaly.

Métodos de diagnóstico

Canine heartworm

Antigen detection: detection of canine heartworm antigen in blood is the most commonly used screening method.

Microfilariae detection: Microfilariae (larvae) can be directly observed on blood smears.

Imaging tests: X-rays and echocardiograms are used to assess damage to the heart and lungs.

PCR test: Used to detect the DNA of canine heartworms with high sensitivity and specificity.

Canine Ehrlichiosis

Blood tests: blood smears can be observed for Ehrlichia, and blood biochemistry and complete blood cell counts show anemia and thrombocytopenia.

PCR test: detects the DNA of Ehrlichia.

Pruebas serológicas: detectan anticuerpos anti-Ehrlichia.

Lyme canino

Serologic test: detects anti-Ehrlichia Spirochete antibodies.

PCR: detection of Burkholderia cepacia DNA.

Clinical evaluation: Comprehensive evaluation with clinical signs and history.

Anaplasma canino

Blood smear: direct observation of Anaplasma.

PCR test: Detection of Anaplasma DNA.

Pruebas serológicas: detectan los anticuerpos anti-Anaplasma.

Blood biochemistry test: assesses anemia and bilirubin levels.
