| 中文描述 | 原生動物的寄生蟲BABESIA會感染紅血球，臨床的症狀和溶血性貧血有關。有些會在小狗中爆發，因為成犬有不明顯的臨床症狀。在美國中南部的一種灰狗有高比例陽性反應，急性反應通常沒辦法處理，不過慢性通常造成貧血與黃膽。狗通常受到BABESIA CANIS, B. GIBSONI, B. GIBSONI-like organisms或是暫時性的B. MICROTI-like agent 像是THEILERIA ANNAE.貓通常受到BABESIA FELIS的感染，通常在南非的貓發現。很多種類的壁蝨像是RHIPICEPHALUS, DERMATOCENTOR, 和 HAEMAPHYSALIS來幫助疾病的傳導。藉著紅血球伴著梨形營養體和Wright/Giemsa-stained blood的斑蹟來證明診斷。貓跟狗不同，不會有發燒以及黃膽的症狀。 |

| 英文描述 | The protozoan parasite BABESIA infects the red blood cells; clinical signs are related to the development of hemolytic anemia. In some outbreaks pups have been affected while adults had clinically inapparent disease. A high percentage of Greyhounds in the southeastern U.S. are seropositive. Acute disease is often fatal but a chronic form may cause anemia and icterus. Dogs can be infected by BABESIA CANIS, B. GIBSONI, B. GIBSONI-like organisms, or by a B. MICROTI-like agent provisionally known as THEILERIA ANNAE. Cats are infected by BABESIA FELIS, with feline disease seen almost exclusively in South Africa. Various species of ticks including RHIPICEPHALUS, DERMATOCENTOR, and HAEMAPHYSALIS act as vectors for disease spread; can also be spread by transfusions. Diagnose by demonstrating the pyriform-shaped trophozoites within the RBC's of Wright/Giemsa-stained blood smears. Unlike dogs, cats rarely show fever and icterus. |
