Downloads
This retrospective study analyzed canine anaplasmosis data from 2020 to 2022 collected from eight small animal veterinary clinics across Cabanatuan, Gapan, Muñoz, and San Jose City in Nueva Ecija. The study focused on the distribution of cases based on the dogs' age, sex, breed, the timing of reported cases, and the owners' residence, utilizing Microsoft Excel for data organization. The findings indicate that dogs aged 7-12 months experienced the highest incidence of anaplasmosis at 54.40%. Male dogs showed slightly higher infection rates (49.77%) compared to females (49.39%). Toy breeds were most affected, with a 61.13% infection rate. The most common clinical sign was inappetence, reported in 61.01% of cases. Anaplasmosis cases peaked during the rainy season from June to November, with Cabanatuan recording the highest number of cases (189). The study confirmed significant statistical correlations between anaplasmosis and the animals' age, sex, and breed.
