ABSTRACT

Objective:

The present study was designed to identify tick species and determine prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi infection in ticks obtained from companion animals in British Columbia. Animals and samples Ticks were submitted by British Columbia veterinarians from client-owned companion animals over a 31-month period. Procedure Each tick was identified and PCR testing for B. burgdorferi undertaken on all Ixodes species identified by the Zoonotic Diseases and Emerging Pathogens Section of British Columbia Centre for Disease Control Public Health Laboratory (BCCDC PHL).

Results:

Overall, 85% (n = 300) of ticks submitted were Ixodes spp., with the majority known to transmit B. burgdorferi. Furthermore, 0.8% (95% confidence interval 0.094 to 2.78%) of these ticks were PCR-positive for B. burgdorferi. Conclusion and clinical relevance Although the B. burgdorferi positivity rate in this study was low, it remains important for veterinary professionals to inform pet owners that ticks are present and can pose a risk to pets and humans. In eastern North America, B. burgdorferi infection risk has increased rapidly, underscoring the importance of ongoing surveillance in British Columbia to understand current and future distributions of ticks and tick-borne pathogens, especially in the context of climate change.
Surveillance passive des tiques et détection de Borrelia burgdorferi chez des tiques provenant d'animaux de compagnie en Colombie-Britannique 2018 à 2020. Objectif Cette étude a été élaboré afin d'identifier les espèces de tiques et de déterminer la prévalence de l'infection à Borrelia burgdorferi chez des tiques obtenues d'animaux de compagnie en Colombie-Britannique. Animaux et échantillons Les tiques ont été soumises par des médecins vétérinaires de la Colombie-Britannique obtenues d'animaux de compagnie de clients sur une période de 31 mois. Procédure Chaque tique a été identifiée et un test PCR pour détecter B. burdorferi réalisé sur toutes les espèces Ixodes identifiées par la Section des maladies zoonotiques et des agents pathogènes émergents du Centre for Disease Control Public Health Laboratory de la Colombie-Britannique. Résultats Au total, 85 % (n = 300) des tiques soumises étaient des Ixodes spp., dont la majorité reconnue pour transmettre B. burgdorferi. De plus, 0,8 % (intervalle de confiance 95 % 0,094 à 2,78 %) de ces tiques étaient positives pour B. burgdorferi par PCR. Conclusion et signification clinique Bien que le taux de positivité pour B. burgdorferi dans la présente étude soit faible, il n'en demeure pas moins important pour les professionnels vétérinaires d'informer les propriétaires d'animaux de compagnie que les tiques sont présentes et peuvent représenter un risque pour les animaux de compagnie et les humains. Dans le nord de l'Amérique du Nord, le risque d'infection par B. burgdorferi a augmenté rapidement, soulignant l'importance d'une surveillance continue en Colombie-Britannique pour comprendre la distribution actuelle et future des tiques et agents pathogènes transmis par les tiques, spécialement dans le contexte des changements climatiques.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).
