The recognition of canine babesiosis in North Carolina caused by Babesia gibsoni documents the expansion of the previously reported endemic area of this disease. Clinical signs ranged from severe hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia to subclinical infections. No infected dogs had traveled to endemic areas. Antibabesial treatment failed to eradicate the organism from infected dogs.
在北卡罗来纳州确认由吉氏巴贝斯虫引起的犬巴贝斯虫病,证明了这种疾病先前报告的流行区域有所扩大。临床症状从严重的溶血性贫血和血小板减少到亚临床感染不等。没有感染的犬去过流行地区。抗巴贝斯虫治疗未能从感染犬体内根除该病原体。
