*Dogs
**Complex epidemiology
**Recognised species are extending their endemic ranges due to the discovery of the small ''Babesia'' species, pet passport scheme and increased overseas travel
**Large species comprises 3 subspecies
***''B. canis canis'' is the most important
****[[Hard Ticks - Overseas|''Dermacentor'']] vector
****Largely confined to southern Europe but is spreading
***''B. canis'' uses [[Hard Ticks - Overseas|''Rhipicephalus'']] as a vector and is spreading northwards through Europe
***''B. gibsoni'' is now established in the USA and South-East Asia
**British dogs have no immunity as no species are endemic to the UK so are highly susceptible if taken abroad
**Prevention of [[Ticks|tick]] bites by use of an 'Amitraz' collar is currently the best method of protection[[Category:Piroplasmida]][[Category:Dog]]
