Babesia canis

Babesia
Class Sporozoasida
Family Babesiidae
Genus Babesia
Species Babesia canis
Also known as: Canine piroplasmosis
Canine Babesiosis

Hosts

Dogs.

Identification

This parasite is of the family Babesiidae. The adults are pyriform in shape, and around 5μm in length.

Life Cycle

For an example of protozoal life cycle see Coccidia Life Cycle.

Sporozoites enter the host, when the tick feeds. These reproduce in the erythrocytes of the host. Merogony then occurs, and releases merozoites. Blood is ingested by the tick. When the larval tick moults into the nymphal stage, and enters the salivary glands. The life cycle then continues.

B. canis uses Rhipicephalus as a vector and is spreading throughout Europe.
