==Introduction==
''Haemobartonella canis'' is a species of the ''[[Mycoplasmas species - Overview|Mycoplasmas]]'' genus. Dogs infected with ''Haemobartonella canis'' are usually asymptomatic although it can cause haemolytic [[Anaemia - Introduction|anaemia]]. The organism is transmitted by [[:Category:Ticks|ticks]] and causes clinical signs by attaching to the outside of red blood cells. Clinical signs are usually mild except in cases where the animal has had a previous splenectomy or is undergoing chemotherapy and has a compromised immune system.

Infection with ''H. canis'' is usually non-pathogenic unless animals have had a previous splenectomy or chemotherapy, in these cases the prognosis depends on the severity of clinical signs and level of concurrent disease but treatment is usually successful.
