Contribution to the Mode of Transmission of Babesia Canis by Ticks

Abstract

Dermacentor reticulatus passes the Babesial infection to almost the entire progeny. The male ticks are also capable of infecting, since their salivary glands are infected with Babesiae in the same manner as the females. The Babesial infection is not extinguished by the wintering of female ticks (cooling to +9C) after absorption of piroplasmic blood and prior to egg laying.
