Abstract

An Irish setter from the Oslo area was presented to the clinic with signs of babesiosis, a few days after a tick bite. Blood analysis confirmed babesiosis. Microscopic examination of thin blood film revealed large, basophilic, bodies inside erythrocytes, indicative of a large Babesia sp. Molecular analysis using PCR, indicated the presence of a Babesia spp. in the blood. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the PCR fragment revealed a sequence which was 100% identical to Babesia canis canis 18S. As this dog had never been abroad, it can be concluded that this is the first report of an autochthonous infection of B. canis canis in Norway.

摘要

一只来自奥斯陆地区的爱尔兰塞特犬因蜱叮咬后数天出现巴贝斯虫病的症状而被送到诊所。血液分析证实了巴贝斯虫病。薄血涂片的显微镜检查显示红细胞内有大的嗜碱性体，提示存在大型巴贝斯虫属。使用 PCR 的微观检查显示血液中存在一种巴贝斯虫属。PCR 片段的测序和系统发育分析显示，该序列与犬巴贝斯虫 18S 完全相同。由于这只狗从未出过国，可以得出结论，这是挪威首例犬巴贝斯虫 18S 感染的本地感染病例。
