Contribution to canine babesiosis in the Czech Republic
Original language description
From March to November 2010, a total of 68 samples of blood from 41 hunting and working dogs that never left the Czech Republic were examined. Some dogs were sampled repeatedly. Blood samples were examined by polymerase chain reaction for the presence ofDNA of piroplasms with negative results. Specific IgG antibodies against Babesia canis were detected by indirect imunofluorescence test, and five dogs (12.21%) were seropositive. Titers ranged from 50 to 200. One dog was positive in two samplings within3 months. The highest number of positive samples was taken in June. All of 340 adult unfed Dermacentor reticulatus ticks in 34 pools screened by PCR for babesiae were negative in 2005. The results of this study suggest likely contact of the examined dogs with the parasite. We wanted to notify the importance of follow-ups in these regions. It is expected that the first endemic case of babesiosis in the Czech Republic could be confirmed on these regions.
