At the 6-month follow-up one IVP group dog was found to have acquired a new TBP infection with A. platys by qPCR (1%, 95% CI: 0.2–6.0%), whilst two CP dogs were found newly TBP-positive (2%, 95% CI: 0.6–8.0%), of these one was positive to A. platys and one to E. canis (both 1%, 95% CI: 0.2–6.0%), see Table 4. Here, TBP is linked to total blood protein measurement.
