Abstract
Vector-borne deceases (CVBDs) are registered in all Russia regions except of far northern, but the prevalence of CVBD infections in domestic dogs is low in most places. The main CVBDs, which have been expressed in dogs and observed by vets for previous decades are: babesiosis (in most regions), and dirofillariosys (in Krasnodar and Stavropol regions). But during few last years the vet clinics of Russia Black Sea Coast have reporting about frequent ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis cases, and a few hepazoonosis and leichmaniosys cases.The Black Sea Coast region strongly differs from others regions of Russia, because CVBDs here are detected round the year but not only in specific season. The biggest domestic dog population in this region habits in Sochi area.
 One hundred dogs having specific clinical signs of CVBDs or having nonspecific clinical signs and tick history and had not regularly been treated against ticks and mosquitoes were studies at Vetpatrul vet clinic in Sochi.

 CVBDs were revealed in 55 of 100 studied dogs: mono infections (38 dogs) of ehrlichiosis (26 dogs), anaplasmosis (5), hepazoonosis (4), dirofilariosis (2), borreliosis(1); mix infections (17) of all above mentioned infections plus babesiosis. Leishmaniosis was not revealed.
 Twenty five dogs of 100 have had specific clinical signs of CVBD: anemia, fever, weakness, anorexia, hemorrhage, renal failure, ophthalmology diseases (iridocyclitis, uveitis, chorioretinitis). Seven dogs of 100 died.
