I have not heard of this illness before. I don't think we have a problem in Canada. Maybe it is too cold.
Good thing they are monitoring it. It gives people a chance to protect their dogs or at least get treatment soon enough. I notice from the map that some areas are more prone to have cases. It looks like the south coastal area is the worst place. That should help give clues as to the cause.
I think I have heard of the bacteria or at least a close relative. A cat I knew died from it. It sounds like a serious problem for dog owners. I hope they can sort out a treatment or better yet, a vaccine.
