Association of acute <i>Babesia canis</i> infection and serum lipid, lipoprotein, and apoprotein concentrations in dogs

Abstract

Major changes associated with B. canis-induced APR in dogs are related to concentration, composition, and morphology of HDL particles pointing to an altered reverse cholesterol transport. Parallel ApoA-1 and SAA concentration increase is a unique still unexplained pathophysiological finding.
