“…The country has a continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters, and is surrounded by mountains. In this study, DNA samples were obtained from a study conducted by our team [ 16 ] and these DNA samples were stored in Sivas Cumhuriyet University Parasitology Department Laboratories under appropriate conditions. To summarize, the blood samples were collected from 337 shelter dogs in Bishkek between 2017 and 2019.…”

“…To date, no record of canine babesiosis has been found in the literature in Kyrgyzstan. Recently, we reported the first molecular presence and prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis ( D. immitis ) and D. repens [ 16 ], canine and bovine hemotropic mycoplasma species [ 17 , 18 ], and canine hepatozoonozis in dogs from Kyrgyzstan [ 19 ]. On the other hand, the presence of T. orientalis, T. annulata, B. major [ 20 , 21 ], Anaplasma centrale ( A. centrale ) , A. phagocytophilum -like 1, A. capra , and A. ovis were revealed in cattle and sheep [ 22 , 23 ].…”
