Prevalence of <i>Babesia</i> spp. and clinical characteristics of <i>Babesia vulpes</i> infections in North American dogs

Abstract

Babesia vulpes infection in domestic North American dogs is commonly found in conjunction with other coinfections, including B. gibsoni and hemotropic Mycoplasma. Similar to B. gibsoni, dog-to-dog transmission of B. vulpes may be a frequent mode of transmission.
