Abstract

Anaplasmosis is an emerging tick-borne zoonotic pathogen in dogs and humans that has recently gained attention in parasitology and microbiology study groups worldwide. This infection has been reported in regions worldwide. There are no reported cases of exposure to Anaplasma spp. canine or human patients in the Fiji Islands. This is the first reported case of canine Anaplasma spp. infectious canine cyclic thrombocytopenia in the Fiji Islands. Canine patients were presented to Pacific Animal Shelter and Hospital (PASH) in the Fiji Islands were screened for Anaplasma spp. antibodies using a commercial kit based on an enzyme-linked immune assay. Anaplasma spp. infection was diagnosed based on major clinical data, hematological findings and positive serology tests. The case was diagnosed as canine Anaplasmosis and was successfully treated with Doxycycline and other supportive treatments.

Abstract

A four-year-old female spayed Boerboel dog presented with a three-day history of reduced appetite, lethargy, dark tarry watery faces, high fever, and dark urine in September 2024. General Clinical Examination (GCE) revealed that pyrexia, pale to slightly icteric mm, and infestation with brown ticks on the body, especially inter digital region and ear pinna. The clinical signs suggested a tick-borne disease. Blood samples were submitted to the laboratory for biochemistry and Full Blood Count (FBC), and serological testing by using a commercial test kit.  Laboratory tests ALP (Aspartate Aminotransferase, ALT Alanine Aminotransferase, AST aspartate transferase, Total Bilirubin, and GGT gamma-glutamyl transferase revealed severe pancytopenia with elevation of hepatic enzymes. Serological test positive for Ehrlichia canis antibodies. This diagnosis was acute ehrlichiosis with secondary hepatic impairment. Treatment included doxycycline at a dose rate of 10mg/kg body weight once daily for 28 days, liver supportive therapy with Denamarin® 1 tab once a day for 28 days, and Frontline® spot-on covering tick infestation and supportive with vitamin B complex and high-density commercial nutrition supplement. The dog significantly recovered from E. canis infection after 28 days of therapeutic medical support. This is the first reported incidence of canine E. canis in the Fiji Islands.
