Canine babesiosis results from infection of 1 of 5 identified protozoal species in the United States (Babesia conradae, Babesia sp. "coco," Babesia gibsoni, Babesia vogeli, and Babesia vulpes). They are part of the Apicomplexa family of protozoa and are obligate intraerythrocytic parasites. Domestic and wild canids are suspected of being intermediate hosts. This updated article aims to provide practical guidance about the clinical manifestations of disease, treatment options, and outcomes. In addition, the authors hope to provide some clarity about the taxonomy and nomenclature of these organisms, as they have undergone multiple changes since their initial discovery.
犬巴贝斯虫病是由美国 5 种已鉴定的原生动物物种之一感染引起的（康氏巴贝斯虫、“可可”巴贝斯虫、吉氏巴贝斯虫、 vogeli 巴贝斯虫和 vulpes 巴贝斯虫）。它们是原生动物顶复门的一部分，是必需的红细胞内寄生虫。怀疑家养和野生犬科动物是中间宿主。这篇更新的文章旨在提供有关疾病临床表现、治疗选择和结果的实用指南。此外，作者希望对这些生物体的分类和命名法提供一些澄清，因为自最初发现以来，它们已经经历了多次变化。
