Occurrence and Haematology of Canine Tick‐Borne Protozoa in Dhaka City, Bangladesh [PDF]
• 30.62% of dogs were infested with Rhipicephalus sanguineus, which was mostly found on their neck and chest; however, infection with protozoa was 23.13%, where Babesia canis was the most prevalent (11.88%). • RBC counts, haemoglobin and PCV were significantly lower in infected dogs with higher eosinophilic counts.

Prevalence of Babesia canis and Hepatozoon canis in Zaria, Nigeria
The study was carried out to show the prevalence of Babesia canis and Hepatozoon canis in dogs within Zaria. Between the months of May and August 2010, blood samples collected from 150 dogs were processed using Giemsa stained thin blood smear and examined for the presence of B. canis and H. canis. Of the 150 dogs sampled, 84 (56%) were males and 66 (44%

Hepatozoon canis and Babesia vogeli infections of dogs in Tunisia
A paucity of studies is available on haemoparasites in dogs in Tunisia. In this study, we used molecular techniques (PCR/sequencing) to detect and characterize haemoprotozoa in sick dogs from Tunisia. A total of 99 dogs displaying such clinical symptoms as fever, anorexia, and depression were presented for treatment to the hospital of the Veterinary ...

Diversity of Ticks in the Caribbean Region and Detection of Their Pathogens Using BioMark Technology [PDF]
Introduction Ticks and the pathogens they transmit are widespread in Caribbean animal populations. There is; however, limited information on the diversity of ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TTBPs) in the region. This study aims to identify TTBPs across multiple Caribbean countries using a high‐throughput real‐time microfluidic PCR system.

<i>Ehrlichia canis</i> and <i>Hepatozoon</i> spp. in captive tigers in Thailand. [PDF]
Captive wildlife can serve as reservoirs for various tick-borne pathogens for both domestic animals and humans. Ecotourism tiger parks, where tigers (Panthera tigris) engage with humans and other animals, increase the risk of disease transmission. This study aimed to investigate the infection rate, co-infection patterns, and associated risk factors of ...

Phylogeography and population differentiation in Hepatozoon canis (Apicomplexa: Hepatozoidae) reveal expansion and gene flow in world populations. [PDF]
Background Hepatozoon canis is a protozoan transmitted to dogs and other wild carnivores by the ingestion of ticks containing mature oocysts and is considered the principal cause of canine hepatozoonosis in the world.
