Clinical presentation, diagnostic investigations, treatment protocols and outcomes of dogs diagnosed with tick‐borne diseases living in the United Kingdom: 76 cases (2005‐2019)

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Even in non-endemic areas, veterinary surgeons should consider tick-borne diseases in dogs with compatible clinical presentation and laboratory findings and especially where there is a history of travel. As autochthonous transmission of tick-borne-pathogens does occur, an absence of travel should not rule out tick-borne diseases. Specific diagnostic testing is required to confirm infection, and this enables prompt targeted treatment and often a positive outcome.
