Journal Article
Molecular and microscopic detection of haemoprotozoan diseases in dogs from Haryana, India
2024
Overview
Haemoparasitic infections are frequently observed in dogs from tropical regions, including India. The present investigation combined microscopic blood smear examination and PCR assays to assess the occurrence of canine tick-borne diseases (CTBD) from suspected dogs in and around Hisar, Haryana. Using the Giemsa-stained peripheral thin blood smear examination, 15 (12.5%) of the 120 dogs were infected with CTBD, with 5.8%, 3.3%, 2.5%, and 0.8% dogs testing positive for
Hepatozoon canis
,
Ehrlichia canis
,
Babesia vogeli
, and
Babesia gibsoni
, respectively. Using the PCR assay, CTBD was found to be 64.16% (77/120) in examined dogs. Of the 77 PCR-positive canines, 56 were infected with a single haemoparasite, while 21 were infected with two or more species.
H. canis
was the most abundant tick-borne pathogen, representing 35%, followed by
E. canis
25.8%,
B. vogeli
20%, and
B. gibsoni
2.5%. The most common co-infection was with
H. canis
along with
E. canis
(7.5%). The PCR assay was proven to be more efficient for detecting haemoparasites in dogs compared to blood smear examinations. The study suggests that canine tick-borne diseases are common in Haryana and recommends using PCR-based molecular tests in addition to conventional microscopic examination to diagnose these infections for effective treatment and management of infected canines.
