    Snippet: Neorickettsia helminthoeca. Testing of blood donor dogs for N. helminthoeca is not recommended because the pathogen produces acute disease, without evidence of a carrier state in healthy dogs and without evidence of blood-borne transmission. 76 Rickettsia rickettsii.

    Document: Neorickettsia helminthoeca. Testing of blood donor dogs for N. helminthoeca is not recommended because the pathogen produces acute disease, without evidence of a carrier state in healthy dogs and without evidence of blood-borne transmission. 76 Rickettsia rickettsii. Rocky mountain spotted fever (RMSF), caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, is an acute systemic infection of vascular endothelial cells. The organism is rapidly eliminated from dogs that survive clinical illness, and chronic carrier states have not been reported. The consensus of the panel is that healthy blood donors do not need to be screened for antibodies to R. rickettsii, because infected dogs are acutely ill and no subclinical carrier state is known to exist. Dogs that are seropositive for Rickettsia spp. need not be excluded as blood donors.
