  abstract = {{D}ogs are competent reservoir hosts of several zoonotic agents, including {F}ilariidae nematodes and {A}naplasmataceae family bacteria. {T}he latter family unites human and veterinary pathogens ({A}naplasma, {E}hrlichia and {N}eorickettsia bacteria) with {W}olbachia, some of which are obligatory endosymbionts of pathogenic filarial nematodes. {T}he epidemiology of {A}naplasmataceae and {F}ilariidae species infecting dogs living in kennels in {N}ew {C}aledonia was studied. 64 {EDTA} blood samples were screened for the presence of {A}naplasmataceae and filarial nematodes. {M}olecular study was conducted using primers and probe targeting the of 23{S} r{RNA} long fragment of {A}naplasmataceae species. {N}ext, all blood sample was screened for the presence of {F}ilariidae species targeting the primers and probe targeting the {COI} gene, as well as primers targeting the {COI} and 5{S} r{RNA} genes of all filarial worms. {A}naplasma platys was identified in 8/64 (12.5, 95% confidence interval [{CI}]: 4.4-20.6%) and {W}olbachia endosymbiont of {D}irofilaria immitis in 8/64 (12.5%, {CI}: 4.4-20.6%). {F}ilariidae species investigation was performed and showed that 11/64 (17.2%, {CI}: 7.9-26.4%) dogs were infected with {D}. immitis, whereas, 2/64 (3.1%, {CI}: 0.0-7.3%) were infected with {A}canthocheilonema reconditum. {F}inally, we checked the occurrence of co-infection between {A}naplasmataceae and {F}ilariidae species. {C}o-occurrence with {W}olbachia endosymbiont of {D}. immitis was observed in seven dogs, one dog was co-infected with {A}. platys and {A}. reconditum and another was co-infected with {W}olbachia endosymbiont of {D}. immitis and {A}. reconditum. {T}hese results are the first report of {A}naplasmataceae and {F}ilariidae occurring in dogs in {N}ew {C}aledonia.},
