摘要: Summary This case report describes a dog suffering from co-infection with Babesia and Anaplasma parasites. platys was found to be responsible for the anaplasmosis by molecular biology techniques, while microscopical serological evidence coexistent babesiosis, although this could not confirmed polymerase chain reaction. Moreover, possible risk of import exotic pathogens is highlighted.
