    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospirosis

    Leptospirosis is a blood infection caused by the bacteria Leptospira [8] that can infect humans, dogs, rodents and many other wild and domesticated animals. [8] Signs and symptoms can range from none to mild (headaches, muscle pains, and fevers) to severe (bleeding in the lungs or meningitis). [5]

  3. Leptospira interrogans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospira_interrogans

    The icteric form is also known as Weil's disease. [29] It has been shown in studies that L. interrogans may damage the endothelial cell lining of various vessels and organs, allowing them to leak and further spread the bacteria to other parts of the body. [30] Symptoms can appear anywhere between 2 and 4 weeks after exposure.

  4. Ehrlichia canis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrlichia_canis

    Ehrlichia canis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that acts as the causative agent of ehrlichiosis, a disease most commonly affecting canine species. This pathogen is present throughout the United States (but is most prominent in the South), [3] South America, Asia, Africa and recently in the Kimberley region of Australia.

  5. Kennel cough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennel_cough

    Kennel cough (also "canine infectious respiratory disease" (CIRD), "canine infectious respiratory disease complex" (CIRDC) or "canine infectious tracheobronchitis" (CIT)) is an upper respiratory infection affecting dogs. [1] There are multiple causative agents, the most common being the bacterium Bordetella bronchiseptica (found in 78.7% of ...

  6. Neorickettsia risticii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neorickettsia_risticii

    Although N. risticii is a well known causative agent for PHF in horses, it may act as a potential pathogen in cats and dogs as well. [8] Not only has N. risticii been successfully cultured from monocytes of dogs and cats, [ 6 ] but cats have become clinically ill after experimental infection with the bacteria. [ 9 ]

  7. Pathogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogen

    In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος, pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής, -genēs "producer of"), in the oldest and broadest sense, is any organism or agent that can produce disease.

  8. Canine parvovirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_parvovirus

    A test kit of a CPV positive dog. Diagnosis is made through detection of CPV2 in the feces by either an ELISA or a hemagglutination test, or by electron microscopy. PCR has become available to diagnose CPV2, and can be used later in the disease when potentially less virus is being shed in the feces that may not be detectable by ELISA. [4]

  9. Bordetella bronchiseptica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordetella_bronchiseptica

    It is a serious disease of dogs, pigs, and rabbits, and has been seen in cats, horses, and seals. A PCR test for the pathogen exists. [8] In pigs, B. bronchiseptica and Pasteurella multocida act synergistically to cause atrophic rhinitis, a disease resulting in arrested growth and distortion of the turbinates in the nasal terminus (snout).
