Linda’s comment: Mycoplasma infections in India and most describe clinical disease in individual dogs, diagnosed by morphological observation of the microorganisms in stained blood smears.
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: There are few published reports on canine Babesia,
Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Hepatozoon and haemotropic Mycoplasma infections
in India and most describe clinical disease in individual dogs,
diagnosed by morphological observation of the microorganisms in stained
blood smears. This study investigated the occurrence and distribution of
canine tick-borne disease (TBD) pathogens using a combination of
conventional and molecular diagnostic techniques in four cities in India.
