Molecular Identification of Babesia canis vogeli and its Therapeutic Management with Imidocarb
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
A one and a half year old female Labrador was presented with a history of anorexia and vomiting. Hematological abnormalities were thrombocytopenia and monocytosis. Babesia canis piroplasms were detected on blood smear examination and the dog was treated with injection imidocarb at a dose of 6 mg/ kg body weight subcutaneously (SC) twice, with a two week interval. Hematology was performed on day’s three and fourteen to assess the improvement. The present communication deals with the identification of the species/subspecies B. canis vogeli by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and the therapeutic management of the same.
