摘要

Forty-eight cases affected with naturally acquired tick-borne pathogens were studied. In this series, pathogens of tick-borne diseases included Babesia gibsoni (33/48, 68.8%), Babesia canis (4/48, 8.3%), Ehrlichia platys (9/48, 18.8%), Ehrlichia canis (1/48, 2.1%), and Hepatozoon canis (2/48, 4.2%) were found using blood smears and microscopic examination. Anemia (77%), eosinopenia (58.3%), leukocytosis (29.2%), monocytosis (27.1%), hypoglycemia (36.7%), elevated ALT (31.7%), and elevated ALKP (31.3%) were the major abnormalities of laboratory parameters in both babesiosis and ehrlichiosis. Among anemic dogs, 60% were characterized by regenerative form. Maltese Terriers showed breed predilection to babesiosis (P＜0.05).
