VECTOR DOGS INFECTION, CLINICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF BABESIOSIS IN DOGS IN THE ROSTOV REGION
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the presence of babesiosis in dogs in the Rostov region, find the vectors of transmit babesiosis and determine the Babesia species in the region. According to foreign authors, the carrier of infection can lead to autoimmune anemia, to kidney damage and to the development of a fatal kidney failure. Diagnosis by light microscopy such animals is impossible. It was found that the carrier of babesiosis in dogs in the Rostov region at the end of infection transmission consist 12%, while the incidence of carrier B. canis consist 9% of all animals or 75% - of the number of carriers. The mixed invasion of B. canis and B. vogeli was 4% of all animals tested, or 33.3% - of the number of carriers. In 25% of cases to identify the type of Babesia failed.
