Brief characterization:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • In Germany, parasites of the species Babesia canis<\/em> and, more rarely, Babesia gibsoni<\/em> are detected.<\/li>\n

      Brief characterization:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • The most important etiological agent of this genus is Ehrlichia canis<\/em>.<\/li>\n
      • Diagnostic options: Antibody detection or direct detection (PCR).<\/li>\n
      • Microscopically, morulae can be detected in the cytoplasm of monocytes.<\/li>\n
      • The most important hematological change during the course of infection is thrombocytopenia.<\/li>\n
      • The incubation period is 1 to 3 weeks, followed by an acute phase of illness that usually lasts about 2\u20134 weeks. Afterward, the disease may either resolve spontaneously or progress to a subclinical or chronic phase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Brief characterization:<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Borrelia are bacteria of the class Spirochaetia<\/em>.<\/li>\n
        • Diagnostic options: Antibody detection (IgM and IgG) or direct detection (PCR).<\/li>\n
        • It is recommended to verify positive ELISA results with an immunoblot test. This allows differentiation of a Borrelia infection from other spirochetes, as well as from post-infectious and vaccine-induced antibodies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
