Abstract:
Background: The prevalence of dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA 1) in canine population is approximately 40–60%.
Often data are limited to a small number of breeds and/or dogs. The aims of this study were to evaluate frequency
of DEA 1 in a large population of purebred and mongrel dogs including Italian native breeds and to recognize a
possible association between DEA 1 and breed, sex, and genetic and phenotypical/functional classifications of
breeds. Frequencies of DEA 1 blood group collected from screened/enrolled blood donors and from healthy and
sick dogs were retrospectively evaluated. The breed and the sex were recorded when available. DEA 1 blood typing
was assessed by immunocromatographic test on K3EDTA blood samples. The prevalence of DEA 1 antigen was
statistically related to breed, gender, Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) and genotypic grouping.
Results: Sixty-two per cent dogs resulted DEA 1+ and 38% DEA 1-. DEA 1- was statistically associated with Dogo
Argentino, Dobermann, German Shepherd, Boxer, Corso dogs, the molossian dogs, the FCI group 1, 2 and 3 and
the genetic groups “working dogs” and “mastiff”. DEA 1+ was statistically associated with Rottweiler, Briquet Griffon
Vendéen, Bernese mountain dog, Golden Retriever, the hunting breeds, the FCI group 4, 6, 7 and 8 and the genetic
groups “scent hounds” and “retrievers”. No gender association was observed.
Conclusions: Data obtained by this work may be clinically useful to drive blood donor enrollment and selection
among different breeds.
