Serosurvey of vector-borne diseases in the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) in captivity

Vector-borne diseases affect the health status of canines worldwide. We examined serum samples from six captive Mexican wolves (Canis lupus baileyi) at the Reserva de la Biosfera La Michilía, Durango, México for antibodies against Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia canis, Borrelia burgdorferi, and...
