Babesia gibsoni infections in dogs from North Carolina

A J Birkenheuer et al. J Am Anim Hosp Assoc. 1999 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

The recognition of canine babesiosis in North Carolina caused by Babesia gibsoni documents the expansion of the previously reported endemic area of this disease. Clinical signs ranged from severe hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia to subclinical infections. No infected dogs had traveled to endemic areas. Antibabesial treatment failed to eradicate the organism from infected dogs.
