Free Light-Chain Proteinuria and Normal Renal Histopathology and Function in 11 Dogs Exposed to Leishmania infantum, Ehrlichia canis, and Babesia canis

Serological cross-reactivity of Trypanosoma cruzi, Ehrlichia canis, Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum and Babesia canis to Leishmania infantum chagasi tests in dogs.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the serological cross-reactivity between Leishmania sp. and other canine pathogens. METHODS Positive serum samples for Ehrlichia canis, Babesia canis, Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum and Trypanosoma cruzi were tested using three serological methods enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT) ...

Babesia canis canis and Babesia canis

Aim: A study on the clinical and biochemical parameters of Nigerian dogs experimentally infected with Babesia canis was conducted. Materials and Methods: A total of ten naive dogs of both sex and aged between 6 months to 1 year, were used for the study. They were divided into two groups of five eachA (control) and B (infected). Dogs in group B were infected with 1ml of Babesia canis positive in...

Autochthonous Babesia canis, Hepatozoon canis and imported Babesia gibsoni infection in dogs in the Czech Republic

The epidemiology of tick-borne diseases as well as the ecology of the associated tick vectors is currently undergoing dynamic change. Canine babesiosis has, to date, only been reported in the Czech Republic as an imported disease, despite the presence of an established population of D. reticulatus in the South Moravian region. A recent report of autochthonous H. canis in dogs indicates that the...

Nitric Oxide, Protein Oxidation and Total Antioxidant Levels in Serum of Dogs Naturally Infected by Ehrlichia canis, Leishmania infantum and Babesia vogeli

Background: Ehrlichia canis and Babesia vogeli comprise a group of globally distributed pathogens transmitted by ticks. Leishmania infantum is transmitted by Lutzomyia longipalpis, etiological agent of leishmaniasis. The pathogens affect the animals; and can also affect the human. An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants compounds causes an increase in free radicals, and other reactive ox...
