    Snippet: The prevalence of A. phagocytophilum exposure in feral cats approaches 10% and is significantly higher than the previously reported prevalence of 4.3% in the United States (P < 0.001%). A. phagocytophilum infection may be an emerging infectious disease in felines.

    Document: The prevalence of A. phagocytophilum exposure in feral cats approaches 10% and is significantly higher than the previously reported prevalence of 4.3% in the United States (P < 0.001%). A. phagocytophilum infection may be an emerging infectious disease in felines. Further research is needed to determine the prevalence of clinical illness associated with A. phagocytophilum infection in cats living in endemic areas. However, the incidence of OFIs and risk factors for their development in dogs undergoing immunosuppressive treatment are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of dogs diagnosed with certain immune-mediated diseases treated with immunosuppressive drugs that develop OFIs during followup and to determine if particular drug(s) were a risk factor for OFIs.
