Abstract

The pathological changes observed in piroplasma infection in dogs depend on a number of factors such as the breed, age, general condition of the host, intensity of the infection and duration of the disease. The biliary fever parasites live and feed at the expense of the erythrocytes of which large numbers are destroyed.
