Canine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by the protozoal parasites Babesia gibsoni and Babesia canis. These parasites infect the red blood cells of dogs and typically cause hemolytic anemia. B.canis belongs to large babesias and is classified in three subspecies B.canis canis, B.canis rossi and B.canis vogeli. Although they share a similar morphology, they have different vector specificity (Dermacentor reticulatus, Haemaphysalis laechi and Rhipicephalus sanguineus respectively), geographical distribution, antigenicity and pathogenicity to dogs. Infection with B.gibsoni generally results in more severe clinical manifestations than infection with B.canis, and may cause multiple organ dysfunctions. In recent years molecular studies it was found small and large babesias in dogs are more than adopted.

Köpeklerde Babesiosis

Öz

Köpeklerde babesiosis, kenelerle bulaşan Babesia canis ve Babesia gibsoni’nin sebep olduğu protozoer bir hastalıktır. Parazitler eritrositleri enfekte eder ve tipik olarak hemolitik anemi yaparlar. B.canis büyük babesialar grubundan olup B.canis canis, B.canis rossi ve B.canis vogeli olmak üzere üç alt türü vardır. Morfolojik olarak aynı görünmelerine rağmen, vektörleri, (sırasıyla Dermacentor reticulatus, Haemaphysalis laechi ve Rhipicephalus sanguineus), coğrafik yayılışları, antijenik yapıları ve köpeklerde patojeniteleri farklıdır. B.gibsoni enfeksiyonları genel olarak B.canis’ den daha şiddetli klinik semptomlara ve organ yetmezliklerine sebep olurlar. Son yıllarda yapılan moleküler çalışmalar ile köpeklerin büyük ve küçük Babesia etkenlerinin kabul edildiğinden daha fazla olduğu bulunmuştur.
