For Lyme disease to be contracted, the tick must be attached to your dog for at least 48 hours. Therefore, the best means of avoiding Lyme disease is to remove ticks as soon as they are found. Daily inspections of your dog are recommended, especially if they have been in wooded areas.
The Anaplasma phagocytophilum or Anaplasma platys bacteria are picked up by the tick when they bite an infected rodent or small mammal. These bacteria are then transmitted when the infected tick bites your dog. It is unknown how long a tick must be attached in order to transmit this disease. The A. phagocytophilum and A. platys bacteria live in the blood stream and predominantly attack a specific category of white blood cells known as granulocytes.
