Abstract;Infections with Babesia gibsoni, haemobartonella and Ehrlichia in 536 dogs was examined using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) specific for each agent in an animal hospital in Sumoto, an endemic area of canine B. gibsoni infection. Ten of 536 dogs (1.9%) tested positive for B. gibsoni, another 16 (3.0%) tested positive for haemobartonella, and none tested positive for Ehrlichia. No mixed infection of B. gibsoni and haemobartonella was detected. Of 16 dogs testing positive for haemobartonella, five were found to be infected with Mycoplasma haemocanis and the other 11 were infected with Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum. (author abst.)
