Cats are not small dogs: is there an immunological explanation for why cats are less affected by arthropod-borne disease than dogs?
MJ Day - Parasites & vectors, 2016 - Springer
It is widely recognized that cats appear to be less frequently affected by arthropod-borne
infectious diseases than dogs and share fewer zoonotic pathogens with man. This …
