Since the introduction of the Pet Passport scheme cases of this tick transmitted disease are being seen more frequently. Infection is associated with both intravascular haemolysis and extravascular haemolysis (due to infected cells being sequestered and lysed in the spleen). Diagnosis is by PCR or by demonstrating the intracellular teardrop shaped organisms, particularly in smears of capillary blood (ear margin). References: [[NationWide Laboratories]]
