Description:
A domestic dog residing in New England suffered a fatal febrile illness caused by a Babesia infection. The morphology of these intraerythrocytic protozoa and the range of hosts that could be infected experimentally suggested that the parasite was B. gibsoni. Although this tick-bourne disease is enzootic in wild and domestic Canidae in Africa and Asia, it appears to be new to the Americas.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Anderson, J F -- Magnarelli, L A -- Donner, C S -- Spielman, A -- Piesman, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Jun 29;204(4400):1431-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/451574" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
