Canine babesiosis is a tickborne, protozoal, haemoparasitic disease. Babesia organisms are frequently classified as either large (B. canis) or small (B. gibsoni). The aim of this study was an attempt to detect B. gibsoni DNA in blood samples taken from dogs suspected of suffering from tick-borne diseases. 216 samples were tested using PCR, of which, in 99 of them B. canisDNA was detected, whereas in 3 of them B. gibsoni was detected. Positive PCR results for B. gibsoni were confirmed using a Qube MDx real-time analyzer. The results indicate that infec-tions with this B. gibsoni should be taken into account and included in the differential diagnosis of vector-borne diseases in dogs in Poland, and that the accurate identification of the species of parasite causing the infection is crucial for developing the correct treatment regimen and prognosis.
犬巴贝斯虫病是一种蜱传、原生动物、血液寄生虫病。巴贝斯虫属通常分为大（B. canis）和小（B. gibsoni）两种。本研究旨在尝试从疑似患有蜱传疾病的犬只血液样本中检测 B. gibsoni DNA。使用 PCR 检测了 216 个样本，其中 99 个样本检测到 B. canisDNA，3 个样本检测到 B. gibsoni。使用 Qube MDx 实时分析仪对 B. gibsoni 的阳性 PCR 结果进行了确认。结果表明，在波兰，应考虑到这种 B. gibsoni 的感染，并将其纳入犬类媒介传播疾病的鉴别诊断中，准确鉴定引起感染的寄生虫种类对于制定正确的治疗方案和预后至关重要。
