Abstract

This study profiled canine heartworm disease (CHD) cases recorded from 2020 to 2022 in veterinary clinics across Cabanatuan, Gapan, Muñoz, and San Jose, Nueva Ecija. Data from eight clinics included age, sex, breed, preventive history, and clinical signs. A total of 378 confirmed CHD cases were identified using rapid antigen tests. Most infections occurred in dogs aged over 13 months (63.85%), with slightly higher prevalence in males (54.35%) and toy breeds (62.27%). Notably, 90.77% of affected dogs had no record of heartworm prophylaxis. Coughing (86.28%) was the most frequent clinical sign. Cases peaked during the rainy season (June–November), with Cabanatuan City recording the highest number (n = 304). Statistical analysis indicated a significant correlation between CHD and age. These findings highlight the importance of year-round preventive care and increased owner awareness, particularly in high-risk areas.

Abstract

Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is a vector-borne disease that affects dogs. This study characterized CME epidemiological profiles by examining associations with age, sex, breed, clinical manifestations, acaricide use, and case distribution in veterinary clinics in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. A total of 1,117 CME-positive cases were collected from eight clinics in Cabanatuan, Muñoz, San Jose, and Gapan City between 2021 and 2022. Diagnosis used commercial rapid test kits. Statistical analyses revealed significant associations between CME prevalence and age, breed, and patient demographics. Cabanatuan City reported the highest number of cases (n = 508). Sex and seasonal variation showed no significant associations with CME occurrence, although cases increased during the hot months (March–June).
