Dogs with Lyme disease may offer early warning for humans

Testing Dogs for Lyme In each county, figures show how many dogs tested positive for antibodies to bacteria that cause Lyme disease in 2016. In Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and other northeastern states where Lyme disease has been well established in humans for years, the numbers of positive tests in dogs were far higher. Nationally, among the 4,172,861 dogs for which results were available, 268,413 tested positive in 2016, a rate of 6.4 percent. Among the factors that helped predict canine Lyme rates were surface water and forests, which are important habitat for deer – another animal that carries Lyme bacteria. Each year, up to 30,000 confirmed cases of Lyme disease are reported to the U.S. government, and researchers estimate the true number of people diagnosed with the debilitating illness is at least 10 times that many.
