Clinical observations were made on 20 experimentally infected and 70 clinical cases of feline babesiosis. The experimental cats showed a remarkable ability to adapt to the disease. Lethargy, anorexia and anaemia were recorded in both groups. Icterus was only occasionally seen. Elevated body temperature was not a feature of the disease. All untreated animals eventually died. Blood smears revealed increased polychromatophils, Howell-Jolly bodies, nucleated erythrocytes and anisocytosis indicative of a regenerative anaemia. Erythrophagocytosis by monocytic type leucocytes was also observed.
对20只实验感染和70例临床猫巴贝斯虫病病例进行了临床观察。实验猫显示出对该疾病的显著适应能力。两组均记录到嗜睡、厌食和贫血。黄疸仅偶尔出现。体温升高不是该疾病的特征。所有未治疗的动物最终都死亡了。血液涂片显示多染性红细胞、豪焦小体、有核红细胞增多以及红细胞大小不均，提示为再生性贫血。还观察到单核细胞型白细胞的红细胞吞噬现象。
