Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to monitor vector-borne diseases in anaemic dogs arriving in Poland, especially those coming from areas with high disease prevalence due to migration and travel.
- It involved 497 dogs, primarily those from Ukraine, and used molecular biology methods to detect various pathogens.
- Results showed that 79 dogs tested positive for different infections, with the highest occurrences linked to dogs from Ukraine and those returning from Turkey, highlighting the need for ongoing disease monitoring in Poland.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to demonstrate a link between uncomplicated infection in dogs and blood concentrations of zinc and copper and erythrocytic antioxidant defence - activities of glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT).
Material And Methods: The study was based on 15 naturally occurring cases of canine babesiosis with anorexia, pyrexia, depression, pale mucous membrane, splenomegaly and dark red urine. Microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained peripheral blood smears and the results of PCR confirmed infection.
The aim of this study was to demonstrate a relationship between the occurrence of clinical signs of brain involvement in dogs with babesiosis and the concentration of manganese (Mn) in their serum. The study included seven dogs with early babesiosis (Group 1), seven dogs with cerebral babesiosis (Group 2) and seven healthy dogs (Group 3). Haematological and biochemical blood tests were performed in all dogs, and the results were analysed statistically.

Objective: Bovine piroplasmoses are tick-borne protozoan diseases caused by parasites of the genus and . The aim of this work was to study the epizootic situation of babesiosis in the cattle population in eastern Poland and possibly to determine which species of protozoa infects Polish cattle.
Material, Methods And Results: Blood samples for molecular analysis (real time PCR) were collected from 192 dairy cattle from various farms located in eastern Poland.
