(Paul Tshepo) donruz@yahoo.com Sibanda, Donald Ray Domestic dogs Botswana Tick-borne pathogen (TBP) UCTD Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2011. The occurrence of tick-borne pathogens in dogs on communal land in Botswana was studied using Reverse Line Blot (RLB). Eighty blood samples were collected from dogs that underwent a spay and neuter program in Maun, Botswana. These were sent to the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases, University of Pretoria, and were stored at the Molecular Laboratory. DNA was extracted from the samples followed by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and the RLB. Six samples were found to be positive for Ehrlichia canis. Two of the samples were positive for a concurrent infection of E. canis and Ehrlichia ruminantium. There was one sample that was positive for the non-pathogenic Ehrlichia sp. Omatjenne. Although six samples were positive for the Babesia/Theileria catch-all probe, none hybridised with any of the species-specific probes.
