Abstract

In the present study, the prevalence of B. canis antibody was serologically examined in 484 dogs at Tokushima Prefectural Animal Welfare Center using the microplate agglutination test. In total, 2.5% (12/484) of the serum samples were found to be positive. The positive rates in stray dogs, house dogs, and breeding dogs were found to be 2.6% (8/310), 2.3% (3/133), and 2.4% (1/41), respectively. Control of the B. canis infection in a seropositive dog, in two dogs living with the seropositive dog and in the previous owner was successfully achieved through collaboration among medical services, the veterinary services and the local government.
