About
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) pose significant threats to both human and animal
health worldwide. In France, the incidence of human and canine TBDs is growing,
requiring an active surveillance of ticks as well as the diversity of tick-borne
pathogens (TBPs) circulating in both canine hosts and tick vectors.
By collecting ticks and sera on dogs as well as associated clinical signs, we want to get information on the ticks, the pathogens they carry, their site of collection as well as their identification. We will also identify TB pathogens in dogs.
