Introduction

Babesia sp. are protozoal organisms that parasitize erythrocytes, causing anemia in the host. Many different species exist with varying host specificity (5). B. canis and B. gibsoni are two organisms commonly known to infect dogs. Both organisms have Ixodid tick vectors and are found throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and North America, with B. canis being more prevalent (11). Infection by B. gibsoni is increasing in frequency, particularly in North America, although no specific species of ticks in this region have been proven to transmit the disease. However, Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Dermacentor variabilis are believed to be potential vectors of disease (2). There also is evidence that some direct animal-to-animal transmission may occur, as when an infected dog with oral abrasions bites a naïve dog. Kennel settings with poor tick surveillance and control are at a higher risk for housed animals to develop babesiosis (2).
