Snippet: Adult dogs (n = 20) that were screened for D. immitis antigen in San Pedro, Belize in August of 2014 were selected as those likely to be concurrently infested by Rhipicephalus sanguineous and so at high risk for E. canis exposure. Sera were also collected from dogs entering two shelters in northern Colorado from May 2014 to October 2014; this area is considered low risk for both E. canis and D. immitis. A commercially available kit (SNAP 4DX Plus.....
Document: Adult dogs (n = 20) that were screened for D. immitis antigen in San Pedro, Belize in August of 2014 were selected as those likely to be concurrently infested by Rhipicephalus sanguineous and so at high risk for E. canis exposure. Sera were also collected from dogs entering two shelters in northern Colorado from May 2014 to October 2014; this area is considered low risk for both E. canis and D. immitis. A commercially available kit (SNAP 4DX Plus; IDEXX Laboratories) was used to assess serum from dogs on site in Belize and from thawed serum in Colorado. The sera was then stored at -20C until shipped on cold packs to a commercial laboratory (Antech Diagnostics; Lake Success, NY) for evaluation in the other assay (Accuplex 4). Agreement between the assays was determined using the kappa statistic.
