DNA of Anaplasma platys (Ap; 36%), Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum (CMhp; 31%), Mycoplasma haemocanis (Mhc; 28%), Trypanosoma cruzi (17%), Leishmania spp. (4.5%), and Acanthocheilonema reconditum (1%) was detected. All dogs were negative for Ehrlichia spp., Rickettsia spp., Bartonella spp., Piroplasmida, and Hepatozoon spp. Thirty-eight dogs (34%) were coinfected. CMhp was involved in 71%, Mhc in 58%, and Ap in 50% of the co-infections. The most common co-infection pattern was CMhp–Mhc (37% of the cases). The prevalence of Ap was higher in juvenile than in adult dogs, whereas the opposite was found for CMhp and Mhc. Adult dogs were four times more likely of being co-infected than juveniles. Co-infected animals showed higher white blood cell count, segmented neutrophil count, and GGT levels than non-co-infected dogs. Clinically healthy but infected dogs may act as reservoirs of CVBP, and their free-ranging behavior would facilitate the spread of these pathogens to other dogs as well as human beings or wild carnivores. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 1.8 2023 VETERINARY SCIENCES 53 / 167 = 0.317 2023 Q2 T1 0.483 2023 Veterinary (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2023 Q3 2.5 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Di Cataldo, Sophia Muñoz-San Martín, Catalina Latrofa, Maria Stefania Hernández, Claudia Cattan, Pedro E.
