摘要: Background The engagement of companion animal owners into the process collecting epidemiological data can be facilitated through smartphone applications. In April 2018, "tekenscanner" (Dutch for tick scanner) app was launched with aim engaging pet and veterinarians to record ticks removed from their pets submit these identification pathogen testing. Tick-borne pathogens identified in dogs cats during first 6 months after Netherlands are reported. Methods tekenscanner used geographical coordinates or onto a map Netherlands. A barcode assigned each easy tracking submission our laboratory taxonomic identification. Thereafter, DNA extracted PCR amplified, subjected reverse line blot hybridization (RLB) screened broad range tick-borne pathogens. Results were added same app, usually within 2 weeks tick. downloaded 5591 times resulted collection 1273 georeferenced barcoded ticks, peak May June 2018. There 1005 collected 406 268 111 cats. Ixodes ricinus predominant species (90.0%), all stages found on as well hexagonus (7.3%) female nymphal also both hosts, whereas adults Dermacentor reticulatus (2.4%) Rhipicephalus sanguineus (0.2%) exclusively dogs. Nearly 15% recovered carried one more pathogens, 13.8% infected. contained Borrelia spp. (1.9%), Babesia (0.7%), Anaplasma phagocytophilum (1.3%), "Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis" (2.9%) Rickettsia helvetica (7.3%). infected (0.4%), A. "Ca. (2.6%) R. (6.7%). (n = 93) not only autumn, raoultii (16 %) phagocytophilum. Three sanguineus, France USA imported Netherlands, negative. Conclusions is versatile tool use fast feedback test results. Community suitable identifying hotspots provided an early warning system exotic invading
