  • Babesiosis (Canine) 
    Unknown; University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Paraclinical Sciences. Section of Pathology (2009-07-20)
    Images of post-mortem cases captured during 1974 - 1998. Departmental references to images uploaded with photo titles indicated the macroscopic lesion (PM) or microscopic slide (S), case number and year.
  • Brain smear of a bovine that died from cerebral babesiosis 
    University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Paraclinical Sciences. Section of Pathology; University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Veterinary Tropical Diseases (2013-11-05)
    Cerebral redwater is diagnosed at necropsy by the examination of strained brain smears. The majority of erythrocytes are parasitized by Babesia bovis. In the cerebral form of the disease the grey matter of the cerebrum and ...
  • C-reactive protein in canine babesiosis caused by Babesia rossi and its association with outcome 
    Koster, Liza Sally; Van Schoor, Mirinda; Goddard, Amelia; Thompson, P.N. (Peter N.); Matjila, Paul Tshepo; Kjelgaard-Hansen, Mads (South African Veterinary Association, 2009-06)
    C-reactive protein (CRP) is a positive major acute-phase protein in dogs and can be used as a predictive marker for risk of disease and to monitor the response to treatment. Increased concentrations in certain diseases are ...
  • Canine babesiosis 
    Schoeman, Johan P. (Agricultural Research Council, ARC-OVI and the University of Pretoria, 2009-03)
    Babesiosis is a tick-borne disease affecting humans and many domestic and wild animals. Domestic animals showing appreciable morbidity and mortality include dogs, cats, cattle and horses. Both canine and feline babesiosis ...
  • Congenital babesiosis 
    University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Paraclinical Sciences. Section of Pathology; University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Veterinary Tropical Diseases (2013-11-05)
    Bovine babesiosis or rewater is a tick-borne disease caused by parasites of the genus Babesia which occur in the erythrocytes of infected cattle. There are four Babesia species that are known to occur in cattle in Southern ...
  • The effect of pyridoxal-5-phosphate on serum alanine aminotransferase activity in dogs suffering from canine babesiosis 
    Myburgh, E.C.; Goddard, Amelia (Agricultural Research Council, ARC-OVI and the University of Pretoria, 2009-09)
    Accurate measurements of serum aminotransferase (ALT) activity in dogs relies on the endogenous pro-enzyme pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P5P). The purpose of this study was to determine whether the exclusion of P5P from the ...
  • Mortality in virulent canine babesiosis is associated with a consumptive coagulopathy 
    Goddard, Amelia; Wiinberg, Bo; Schoeman, Johan P.; Kristensen, Annemarie T.; Kjelgaard-Hansen, Mads (Elsevier, 2013-05)
    The inflammatory response to infection can activate the coagulation system via complex interactions. If uncontrolled, this may lead to a consumptive coagulopathy, which has been identified as a major risk factor for poor ...
  • Splenomegaly in a bovine that died from babesiosis 
    University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Veterinary Tropical Diseases (2013-11-05)
    Bovine babesiosis or redwater is a tick-borne disease caused by parasites of the genus Babesia which occur in the erythrocytes of infected cattle. In animals which have died from acute B. Bovis infections there is severe ...
