This case report describes a dog suffering from a co-infection with Babesia and Anaplasma parasites. Anaplasma platys was found to be responsible for the anaplasmosis by molecular biology techniques, while microscopical and serological evidence was found for a coexistent babesiosis, although this could not be confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Moreover, the possible risk of import of exotic pathogens is highlighted.
本病例报告描述了一只同时感染巴贝斯虫和无形体寄生虫的犬。通过分子生物学技术发现,嗜吞噬细胞无形体是导致无形体病的病原体,同时发现了存在巴贝斯虫病的显微镜和血清学证据,尽管聚合酶链反应无法证实这一点。此外,还强调了输入外来病原体的潜在风险。
