Canine blood samples (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u2003650) submitted for molecular testing of<jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic>spp. to a diagnostic laboratory from February 2003 to March 2006 were studied. The<jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic>spp. DNA detection was performed by Light Cycler real\u2010time PCR using hybridization probes separately conducted with specific primers and probes. The total percentage of<jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic>spp.\u2010positive dog samples was 1.5% (10 out of 650). The percentage of<jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic>spp.\u2010positive dog samples submitted from north, central and southern Italy were 0.4% (1\/248), 1.4% (3\/219) and 3.3% (6\/183), respectively. Five out of 138 dogs (3.6%) from Sicily were positive on<jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic>PCR testing. A statistical difference was found between the percentages of positive samples from the Yorkshire terrier group (10.7%) compared with the mixed breed group (0.7%). No statistical differences were found between seasonal period, region and gender. Based on molecular data, there is infrequent rickettsiemia in dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1863-2378.2008.01149.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,9]],"date-time":"2008-07-09T03:33:13Z","timestamp":1215574393000},"page":"521-525","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Molecular Survey of<i>Rickettsia<\/i>spp. in Sick Dogs in Italy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"L.","family":"Solano\u2010Gallego","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Trotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Caldin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Furlanello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1312","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.1990.51.08.1312","article-title":"Kinetics of IgM and IgG responses to experimental and naturally acquired Rickettsia rickettsii infection in dogs","volume":"51","author":"Breitschwerdt E.
