Description Canine babesiosis, also known as canine pyoderma, is a disease caused by the parasitism of Babesia canis in the red blood cells of dogs in the genus Babesia of the family Babesiidae (Babesiidae). Babesia canis is one of the pathogens. Morphological characteristics of the pathogen Babesia canis is a large worm, generally 4-5 μm in length, with a typical pear-shaped body, the tips of the two worms are connected at an acute angle, and the number of worms in each erythrocyte ranges from 1 to 16. In addition, there are also amoeba-like worms, which are 2~4μm in size and contain a vacuole. Epidemiological characteristics The disease has a worldwide distribution, and the epidemiology of the disease is closely related to the distribution and activities of ticks. Ticks are mainly active in summer and autumn, so the disease is also susceptible in summer and autumn. In addition, Babesia canis has been isolated from a variety of wild animals, such as wolves and foxes, so wild animals may be important vectors for the epidemiology of canine babesiosis. In addition, blood transfusions from dogs may transmit the disease. Vertical transplacental transmission of certain babesiosis has also been reported.
