The Dog as a Sentinel for Human Infection: Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi C6 Antibodies in Dogs from Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 4(3), 221–229.

author keywords: Lyme disease; Borrelia burgdorferi; dog; North Carolina
MeSH headings : Animals; Antibodies, Bacterial / blood; Borrelia burgdorferi / immunology; Carrier State / veterinary; Disease Reservoirs / veterinary; Dog Diseases / epidemiology; Dog Diseases / microbiology; Dog Diseases / transmission; Dogs; Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay; Lyme Disease / epidemiology; Lyme Disease / microbiology; Lyme Disease / transmission; Maryland / epidemiology; North Carolina / epidemiology; Pennsylvania / epidemiology; Sentinel Surveillance; Seroepidemiologic Studies; Virginia / epidemiology; Zoonoses
TL;DR: The hypothesis that B. burgdorferi transmission seems to occur infrequently in North Carolina dogs as compared to dogs residing in other southeastern and mid-Atlantic states is supported and the utility of dogs as a sentinel to characterize the risk of B. Burgdorferis transmission to humans in a defined geographical location is supported. (via Semantic Scholar)
