  abstract = {{I}n {D}akar kennels where morbidity and mortality attributed to diseases transmitted by ticks were high, we conducted a field study to assess the prevalence of {E}hrlichia canis, {A}naplasma platys and {B}abesia spp. infections in two kennels (n=34 dogs) and to study the impact of tick protection. {T}he first day of the study, the {E}. canis {PCR} were positive in 18 dogs (53%). {A}. platys was found in one dog and all dogs were negative for {B}abesia spp. {A}fter one month of doxycycline treatment, the number of {PCR} positive dogs decreased significantly to 2 (5.9%). {D}uring seven months, all dogs were treated monthly topically with a novel combination ({C}ertifect ({R}), {M}erial) delivering at least 6.7 mg fipronil/kg body weight, 8.0 mg amitraz/kg and 6 mg ({S})-methoprene/kg. {T}he number of {PCR} positive dogs remained stable all over the seven months, with 4 dogs being positive at {D}ay 90 and 2 at {D}ay 210. {T}he combination of treatment and monthly prevention had a significant effect in the two kennels. {A}ll dogs remained healthy, which was not the case in previous years.},
