Ehrlich, Anaplasma, Babesia gibsoni and babesiosis Canis are common tick-borne pathogens in dogs.

Similarities

Transmission route:

All four diseases are spread through tick bites.

Symptoms:

May cause fever, lethargy, weight loss and other systemic symptoms.

Can cause anemia and enlarged lymph nodes.

Geographical distribution:

It is distributed globally and is more common especially in areas where ticks are active.

Differences

Specific symptoms:

Ehrlich’s dog: Nose bleeding, bleeding tendency, joint pain, and eye problems (such as uveitis).

Canine Anaplasma: acute anemia, jaundice, spleen enlargement.

Babesia gibsoni Canis: severe anemia, jaundice, fever, splenomegaly and renal insufficiency.

Babesia Canis: anemia, jaundice, fever and splenomegalia.

Detection methods

Ehrlich’s dog:

Blood smear test: Ehrlich’s bodies can be observed on a blood smear, and blood biochemistry and complete blood count indicate anemia, thrombocytopenia, etc.

PCR detection: Detection of Ehrlichia DNA, with high sensitivity and specificity.

Serological test: Detection of anti-Ehrlichia antibodies.

Canine Anaplasma:

Blood smear: Anaplasma is directly observed.

PCR assay: Anaplasma DNA is detected with high sensitivity and specificity.

Serological test: Detection of anti-anaplasma antibodies.

Blood biochemical tests: assessment of anemia and bilirubin levels.

Babesia gibsoni Canis:

Blood smear: Direct observation of Babesia gibsoni.

PCR detection: Detection of DNA of Babesia gilli, with high sensitivity and specificity.

Serological test: Detection of antibodies against Babesia gilberti.

Blood biochemical tests: assessment of anemia, bilirubin levels, and renal function.

Babesia Canis:

Blood smear: Direct observation of Babesia.

PCR detection: Detection of Babesia DNA, with high sensitivity and specificity.

Serological test: Detection of anti-babesia antibodies.

Blood biochemical tests: assessment of anemia, bilirubin levels, and renal function.
