Despite the fact vector-borne diseases (VBDs) have been increasingly reported in dogs worldwide, there are only limited reports on VBDs in dogs in China with most being based on molecular detection of active infections. To provide further data on the exposure of dogs in China to VBD agents, we used commercial immunochromatographic assays to test plasma from 637 apparently healthy indoor and breeding colony dogs from 21 veterinary clinics in 10 provinces in China and a commercial dog breeding facility for circulating antigen of  Dirofilaria immitis , and for circulating antibodies against  Ehrlichia  spp.,  Anaplasma  spp., and  Borrelia burgdorferi . Overall, we found only low levels of exposure to  Ehrlichia  spp. (4.7%; 30/637),  Anaplasma  spp. (1.4%; 9/637),  B .  burgdorferi  (0.9%; 6/637) and  D .  immitis  (0.2%; 1/637) with most of the positive animals coming from the commercial breeding colony (26/103; 25.2%) where ectoparasites were most commonly noted. At least one vector-borne agent was found in dogs from 6 of the 10 provinces investigated. Our results confirm exposure of dogs from around China to a variety of VBDs, even indoor pets seldom observed to harbor ectoparasites.
