The aim of the study was to point out the importance of recognizing non-accidental injuries (NAI) and to highlight the importance of reporting such cases, as well as prosecuting the perpetrators, in order to detect potentially existing violence or prevent future violence in society. A total of 338 dogs and 54 cats were submitted for necropsy. Out of 338 dogs examined, 175 (51.

We hypothesised that these dogs have a moderate APR that could be detected by hematological and biochemical changes. Two groups of Babesia-exposed dogs were represented by nine B.

Hypothesis: Dogs with B. canis-induced APR develop dyslipidemia with altered lipoprotein concentration and morphology.
Article Synopsis
- There is limited data on the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in dogs in Serbia, highlighting the need for further studies, especially in outdoor dog populations in Belgrade.
- Blood samples from 111 dogs of various living situations (shelter, free-roaming, hunting) were tested using advanced molecular and serological methods to detect specific pathogens like Anaplasma and Babesia.
- Results showed that while certain Anaplasma and Ehrlichia species were not detected, a significant percentage of the dogs were found to be infected with Babesia canis and B. gibsoni, indicating these dogs serve as reservoirs for these pathogens.
