Research Abstract

Babesiosis and hepatozoonosis are tick-borne diseases and are recognized as an important infectious disease in canine peractice. Molecular epidemiological survey for these pathogens was conducted. Babesia gibsoni-infected dogs were mainly found in dogs from western area of Japan. However, one dog from Akita prefecture was also positive for Babesia infection. Molecular analysis revealed that Babesia in this dog is closely related to a ruminant Babesia, B.odocoilei. This will be an important finding in this study. Hepatozoon canis-infected dogs were found in dogs from Iwate, Ibaraki, Ishikawa, Fukui, Shizuoka, Shiga, Wakayama, Shimane, Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Kagawa, Nagasaki and Kumamoto prefectures. It was revealed that H. canis is widely distributing in Japan including Tohoku, Kanto, Hokuriku, Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu areas. In addition, it was revealed that most of Japanese wildcats were infected with H. felis.
