For the first time cases of babesiosis have been diagnosed in dogs that had not been abroad. Three cases were seen in the province of Gelderland (Bennekom, Elspeet), two in North-Holland (Koog aan de Zaan). A female Dermacentor reticulatus tick, the main vector of the disease in Europe, was found on one of the dogs at Koog; previously specimens of this tick species had only occasionally been seen on dogs returning from abroad. Serological evidence was obtained that in at least four of the cases European Babesia canis, transmitted by Dermacentor ticks, was involved.
首次在未曾出国的犬类中诊断出巴贝斯虫病病例。在海尔德兰省（贝内科姆、埃尔斯皮特）发现了3例，在北荷兰省（科赫安赞）发现了2例。在科赫的一只犬身上发现了一只雌性篦子硬蜱，它是欧洲这种疾病的主要传播媒介；此前，这种蜱虫的标本只偶尔在从国外返回的犬类身上见过。血清学证据表明，至少有4例病例涉及由篦子硬蜱传播的欧洲犬巴贝斯虫。
