title: Multitarget test for emerging Lyme disease and anaplasmosis in a serosurvey of dogs, Maine, USA.
abstract: To determine if the range of deer ticks in Maine had expanded, we conducted a multitarget serosurvey of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) in 2007. An extension of exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi to the northern border and local transmission of Anaplasma phagocytophilum throughout southern areas was found.
