Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence rates of the feline tick-borne pathogens (FTBPs)-,, andin stray cats from Southern Bulgaria. Serum antibodies were used to estimate the prevalence of exposure to FTBPs from blood swabs. Of the 100 cat samples tested with in-clinic assay SNAP 4Dx Plus, the overall FTBP seroprevalence was 3% (3/100); with-1% (1/100) and-2% (2/100). This study provides the first evidence of exposure toandin cats from Bulgaria.
