Document: e of infection. [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] Other Pathogens-Testing Not Recommended Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme borreliosis is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, which is vectored by Ixodes spp. 70 Many dogs in the northeastern and upper Midwest regions of the United States are seropositive, and a small percentage of dogs develop polyarthritis or nephritis. 71 Transfusion-related infections have not been reported. Despite the ability to culture B. burgdorferi from human blood, 72 studies in humans have demonstrated that the risk of acquiring Lyme disease from a transfused unit of packed red blood cells or platelets is negligible. 73, 74 In a study in dogs, only 1.6% of 576 blood samples from experimentally infected dogs tested positive for B. burgdorferi by PCR. 75 The consensus of the panel is that healthy canine blood donors should not be screened for B. burgdorferi. If a screening test a,b that detects seroreactivity to other pathogens is used and the donor is seropositive to B. burgdorferi, that animal need not be excluded from the donor pool.
