Tick borne pathogens present a significant health challenge to animals and human because a single tick may transmit multiple pathogens to a mammalian host during feeding. The present study detected tick-borne pathogens from pet dogs. A total of 666 ticks were collected from 144 pet and sheltered dogs in Egypt from April to September 2018. For hemolymph, midgut and salivary gland smears 546 ticks were used as well as 360 egg smears from 120 female tick were examined by light microscope. The infected ticks were prepared for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ticks were identified; Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Light microscopy showed infection rates of 44.69%, 68.50% & 15.75%, in hemolymph, midgut and salivary gland, respectively. H. canis recorded the highest rates in hemolymph and midgut (35.89% & 49.82%, respectively), but Theileria spp. was the lowest (0.73% & 2.93%, respectively). In salivary gland smears, Babesia canis. was detected in 13.55% and Theileria spp. in 1.83%. Mixed infection in same tick was recorded in 4.76% &0.37% in midgut and salivary gland smears, respectively. Babesia canis stages were recovered from 15% of egg smears. R. sanguineus was natural infected by Babesia, Theileria, Hepatozoon and Anaplasma phagocytophilum as well as mixed infections of protozoa accompanied by a complicated sign of diseases and failure in accurate diagnosis.

Abstract:This study aimed to report the prevalence of Babesia canis vogeli in dogs and ticks in the urban and rural areas of Petrolina, Pernambuco. Serum and peripheral blood samples of 404 dogs were tested by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and by blood smears, respectively. The presence of tick infestation was evaluated, and some specimens were submitted to DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The presence of antibodies anti-B. canis vogeli was determinate in 57.9% (234/404) of dogs. The direct detection of Babesia spp was obtained in 0.5% (2/404) dogs by visualization of intraerythrocytic forms. Infestation by Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato was observed in 54.5% (220/404) of dogs in both urban and rural areas. DNA of Babesia canis vogeli were obtained by PCR in 6% individual (3/50) and 8.7% of pool of ticks (7/80). The risk factors for the presence of anti-B. canis vogeli antibodies, as determined through the application of logistic regression models (P<0.05), were the following: medium breed size variables (P<0.001); contact with areas of forest (P=0.021); and access on the street (P=0.046). This study describes, for the first time, the confirmation of infection of B. canis vogeli in dogs and ticks in the semiarid region of Pernambuco, Brazil.

Hemoparasitosis are diseases of great importance in the practice of a small animal’s veterinarian, due to their high number of cases in the clinical routine of these species, and the wide occurrence of their vectors. Related to hemoparasitosis in dogs, the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus has the greatest importance due to parasitizing dogs, perpetuating hemoparasitosis in this host group. The present work describes a literature review about the three main hemoparasitosis in the routine of a veterinarian in Brazil, ehrlichiosis, caused by Ehrlichia canis, babesiosis caused by the protozoa Babesia canis and Babesia gibsoni, and anaplasmosis caused by Anaplasma platys, comparing them regarding the differences between clinical signs and laboratory alterations, such as the different types of anemia caused by these conditions that culminate in clinical signs related to them. It also aims to describe the similarity in the diagnostic techniques used and infection treatments, which in all cases is used tetracycline, the most commonly used is doxycycline, and highlight the need for further studies about this topic.

A haemoparasitic disease, babesiasis was studied in dogs, brought to the Laura Dog Club, located in Yerevan city. Work in this direction was conducted from midApril till the end of November 2019. 25 working and hunting dogs, and 5 stray dogs were examined. Peripheral blood smears were prepared from animals with severe clinical symptoms of haemoparasitic disease to differentiate babesiasis. After fixing and staining, smear microscopy was performed under an immersion microscope system. Studies of blood smears showed that Babesia canis was found in red blood cells of examined dogs. The carriers of Babesia canis are Ixodid tics of the species Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Rh. bursa, Dermacentor marginatus, the latter species was found in a dog brought from the territory of the forest-mountain zone of Armenia. The species of Ixodid ticks, and the degree of tick infestation, were determined. It turned out that the dogs were mainly infected by the species Rh. sanguineus. It was found that the intensity of infection by Ixodid ticks in dogs in summer was 100%, and the intensity of infection was 10–20 ticks in each animal. Almost the same picture of ticking was observed in autumn.

Introdução: A hemoparasitose é uma patologia de alta casuística na rotina clínica veterinária, desencadeada por bactérias, protozoários, helmintos, possuindo como principal transmissor o carrapato em períodos do ano de maior incidência de calor e umidade, tendo em vista o potencial zoonótico. A babesiose é causada pelos protozoários Babesia Canis e Babesia gibsoni transmitida pelo carrapato Rhipicephalus sanguineus, esses parasitas causam a hemólise das hemácias. Já a anaplasmose é oriunda de bactérias intracelulares Anaplasma platys ou Anaplasma phagocytophilum transmitidas pelo carrapato Rhipicephalus sanguineus, causando trombocitopenia. A rangeliose é ocasionada por um piroplasma Rangelia vitalli, transmitida por carrapatos Rhipicephalus sanguineus e Amblyomma aerolatum, se replicando nos eritrócitos. Objetivo: Relatar um caso clínico de uma canina. Relato de caso: canina castrada, sem raça definida, com 1 ano e dois meses, pesando 11,4 Kg, sendo atendida em uma clínica veterinária particular em Caxias do Sul/RS, apresentando apatia, hematoquezia, anorexia, prostração, epistaxe, sangramento em pontas de orelhas, mucosas hipocoradas com petéquias e febre. Durante o atendimento foi realizada coleta sanguínea para avaliação hematológica, esfregaço sanguíneo periférico da orelha, bioquímica sérica (creatinina, fosfatase alcalina, ureia, transaminase pirúvica) e urinálise, apresentando alterações, tais como anemia regenerativa, leucocitose por neutrofilia com desvio a esquerda, linfocitose, trombocitopenia, na urinálise houve presença de hemoglobina, leucócitos, proteinúria. No exame de esfregaço de sangue periférico apresentou-se negativo para hemoparasitas. O diagnóstico definitivo foi através da Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase (PCR), na qual evidenciou os agentes patogênicos de babesiose, rangeliose e anaplasmose. O tratamento instituído foi doxiciclina (5 mg/kg/q.12h durante 28 dias), azitromicina (10 mg/Kg/q.24h durante 10 dias), diaceturato de diminazeno (0,5ml/2Kg) repetindo em 14 dias a dose com prévia aplicação de atropina (0,044 mg/Kg), suplemento vitamínico mineral aminoácido (1 ml/q.24h). O animal se manteve bem clinicamente durante o tratamento, obtendo cura da enfermidade. Conclusão: Mesmo com o diagnóstico negativo de esfregaço sanguíneo periférico, com a suspeita clínica do animal foi solicitado PCR para confirmar a patologia, assim foi de suma importância a pesquisa de hemoparasitas pelos sinais clínicos do canino, juntamente do tratamento precoce e assertivo.

Foram infestados dois cães com carrapatos Rhipicephalus sanguineus infectados pela Babesia canis, tendo sido colocadas 1500 imaqos no primeiro animal e 100 no segundo. Ambos os cães apresentaram infecção das hemácias após o período prepatente de 6 dias. Durante o período prepatente foram diariamente retirados de cada cão 5 ml de sangue, que foram inoculados em 10 cães jovens, por via intravenosa. Os cães inoculados no 1°. 2° e 3° dias do período prepatente permanecerarn negativos. Aqueles inoculados no 4° e 5° dias apresentaram infecção pela babésia. Estes resultados são interpretados, de acordo com os conhecimentos existentes sobre a evolução preeritrocitária dos outros hemosporídeos, como indicadores da existência, no hospedador vertebrado, de uma fase inicial de evolução da babésia em células de tecido, que corresponde a uma fase negativa do sangue e que tem a duração mínima de 3 dias.
