Repeated cross-sectional study of <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> in shelter dogs in Texas, in the context of <i>Dirofilaria immitis</i> and tick-borne pathogen prevalence

Abstract

T. cruzi seroprevalence was comparable to D. immitis prevalence and higher than seroprevalence of the tick-borne pathogens. T. cruzi is an underrecognized health threat to dogs across Texas and possibly other southern states where triatomine vectors are endemic.
