Ticks and associated pathogens recovered from dogs and cats during a longitudinal collection study at veterinary practices in France
Results of this study show that ticks are a year-round risk for dogs and cats in France, and tick-borne pathogens are present as mono- or coinfections at high frequencies. Tick control recommendations for veterinarians and dog and cat owners should incorporate these risks.
