Abstract
La piroplasmosis canina es una enfermedad de distribución mundial, transmitida por garrapatas de la familia Ixodidae que está causada por diferentes especies de los géneros Babesia y Theileria. En la actualidad, se han descrito varias especies con capacidad infectante para los perros, si bien de algunas de ellas todavía no se conoce su impacto clínico, habiendo sido identificadas únicamente por técnicas moleculares. La especie Babesia vulpes, anteriormente denominada Theileria annae y/o Babesia microti-like, fue descrita por primera vez a nivel mundial en el noroeste de la Península Ibérica, y desde entonces ha presentado un carácter emergente, habiéndose descrito tanto en perros como en zorros comunes o rojos (Vulpes vulpes) de distintos países. Galicia es la única región considerada endémica de esta parasitosis en los perros, lo que supone un reto clínico en medicina veterinaria ya que puede producir cuadros clínicos graves con pobre respuesta a los tratamientos específicos...
Canine piroplasmosis is a worldwide, severe, tick-borne haemoprotozoandisease caused by different species of the genera Babesia and Theileria. At the present, although there several piroplasms species that can infect dogs have been described, some of them have been detected only through the use of molecular tools and the clinical impacts they could have in the dogs remain unknown. Babesia vulpes species, formerly known as Theileria annae and/or Babesia microti-like, was first described in north-western Spain. Since then, this parasite has been increasingly observed in foxes and dogs throughout Europe and North America. Currently, piroplasmosis caused by B. vulpes is recognized as a serious problem in Galicia, the only recognized endemic region for this infection so far, as it produces severe disease in dogs associated with a poor response to currently available drugs...
