Gastric Helicobacter infection in dogs.
Infection with gastric Helicobacter spp. is prevalent in dogs and is not accompanied by clinical signs in the majority of cases. Five different Helicobacter spp. have been found in the canine stomach. The modes of transmission are unclear, but fecal-oral, oral-oral, and surface water transmission are all possible. A diagnosis can be made using invasive or biopsy-based tests, but noninvasive techniques using UBBT and serology hold promise for the future.
