Morphofunctional changes in the spleen of dogs as the components of pathogenetic substantiation of babesiosis.

Unlabelled: Babesiosis is a worldwide tick-borne zoonosis caused by hemoprotozoan parasites of the genus Babesia. After entering the body, pathogens remain in the spleen cells within the reticulo-entothelial system.

Aim: The aim of the research was to perform macro- and microscopic analysis of changes in the spleen of pet/watch dogs with babesiosis in relation to control animals.
