abstract
The study was conducted to check the prevalence of the haemoparasitic diseases in dogs. A total of 105 Giemsa stained blood smears were screened on the basis of clinical signs consistent with the haemoparasitic diseases i.e., anorexia, lethargy, lymphadenomegaly, pale mucus membranes, dermal petechiae and ecchymoses, vomiting, malena, epistaxis, cachexia, corneal opacity. Four haemoparasites (Ehrlichia canis, Hepatozoon canis, Babesia canis and Trypanosoma spp) were observed in the blood smears under oil immersion and the prevalence was 4.76%, 2.85% and 0.95 for the Babesia canis and Trypanoma spp. respectively.
