Background  Lyme disease is commonly diagnosed in humans in Latvia, but up to date no studies have been performed to investigate its prevalence in dogs. The aim of this study was to evaluate if seroprevalence against  B. burgdorferi  sensu lato ( B. burgdorferi  s.l.) and co-expression of antibodies against  B.burgdorferi  s.l. and  A. phagocytophilum  is higher in dogs with clinical suspicion of tick-borne diseases compared to healthy dogs.    Findings  Venous blood was taken from healthy dogs (n=441) and dogs suspected to have borreliosis and/ or canine granulocytic anaplasmosis (n=29). The presence of antibodies was detected with SNAP 4Dx test (IDEXX, Westbrook, Maine, USA). The seroprevalence against  B. burgdorferi  s.l. in healthy dogs was 2.49% (11/441) and 36% (4/11) of seropositive dogs had antibodies against both of investigated bacteria. None of the dogs in sick dog group had detectable antibodies against  B. burgdorferi  s.l.    Conclusions  We conclude that seroprevalence to  B. burgdorferi  s.l. in dogs in Latvia is low and that dogs with suspicion of tick-borne disease do not have higher  B. burgdorferi  s.l. seroprevalence than healthy dogs. Dogs that express antibodies against  B. burgdorferi  s.l. frequently co-express antibodies against  A. phagocytophilum.
