A 30-day old Gir calf was brought to Veterinary Polyclinic with symptoms of high fever, dullness, dyspnea, pale mucus membrane and haemoglobinuria. Blood sample was collected and microscopic examination of thin blood smear confirmed the case of acute babesiosis. It was further confirmed by polymerase chain reaction that amplified an approximately 410 bp portion of the ssu-rDNA of spp. The calf was managed with diminazene aceturate @5 mg/kg (Berenil) intramuscularly followed by supportive therapy including intravenous infusions. The present study reports a rare case of bovine babesiosis, its clinical variants, diagnosis, hematology and therapeutic management.
一头30日龄的吉尔小牛被带到兽医综合诊所，出现高烧、精神沉郁、呼吸困难、黏膜苍白和血红蛋白尿等症状。采集血样，薄血涂片显微镜检查确诊为急性巴贝斯虫病病例。通过聚合酶链反应进一步证实，该反应扩增出了 spp. 的小亚基核糖体DNA（ssu-rDNA）约410 bp的片段。对这头小牛肌肉注射了5 mg/kg的乙酰氨基阿维菌素（贝尼尔），随后进行了包括静脉输液在内的支持性治疗。本研究报告了一例罕见的牛巴贝斯虫病病例、其临床变体、诊断、血液学及治疗处理情况。
