Project Abstract

Abstract
Tick-borne diseases pose a significant threat to the health and well-being of domestic dogs worldwide. This research project aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with tick-borne diseases in domestic dogs within a specific region. The study utilized a comprehensive approach to gather data on the prevalence of various tick-borne diseases, identify potential risk factors, and assess the impact of these diseases on the canine population. Chapter one provides an introduction to the research topic, outlining the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definitions of key terms. Chapter two presents a detailed literature review covering ten key aspects related to tick-borne diseases in dogs, including epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and public health implications. Chapter three focuses on the research methodology employed in the study, detailing the research design, data collection methods, sample size determination, data analysis techniques, ethical considerations, and limitations of the methodology. The chapter also discusses the selection criteria for study participants and the procedures used for data collection and analysis. Chapter four presents the findings of the study, including the prevalence rates of various tick-borne diseases in domestic dogs, the identification of risk factors associated with these diseases, and the impact of tick-borne diseases on the health of the canine population. The chapter also includes a discussion of the implications of the findings for veterinary practice, public health, and future research directions. Chapter five provides a comprehensive conclusion and summary of the research project, highlighting the key findings, implications, and recommendations for practice and policy. The research findings underscore the importance of effective tick control measures, regular screening for tick-borne diseases, and prompt treatment to reduce the burden of these diseases on domestic dogs and the community. In conclusion, this research project sheds light on the prevalence and risk factors of tick-borne diseases in domestic dogs within a specific region. The findings contribute to the existing knowledge base on tick-borne diseases in dogs and provide valuable insights for veterinary professionals, public health officials, and dog owners to improve preventive strategies and management approaches.
