Abstract: Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a ocorrência clínica da babesiose em equinos atletas e sua importância no desenvolvimento de doenças intercorrentes. No período de 12 meses, foram avaliados 38 cavalos, identificados como portadores de Babesia equi através do teste de imunofluorescência indireta, participantes de uma das modalidades esportivas: adestramento (n=7); salto (n=8); Concurso Completo de Equitação (n=11) e Pólo (n=12). No período estudado, foram diagnosticados 11 casos clínicos devido a B. equ… Show more

“…However, because we just tested the spleen it is possible that the parasite might be present in other organs like the results of Alhassan et al (2007a) in experimentally infected horses. However, Babesia canis and Babesia bovis parasitized erythrocytes are able to escape the passage through the spleen (Allsopp et al 1994;Mehlhorn and Schein 1998;Schetters et al 1998;Botteon et al 2005;Carcy et al 2006). Seven of the evaluated horses were found to present the parasite in whole blood, but not in the splenic blood.…”

“…This disease causes, in horses, fever, anemia, jaundice, hepatomegaly and weight loss, leading to a decrease in animal performance, thus causing economic damage to breeders. 6,7 Regarding public health, human infestations by species of Dermacentor nitens are uncommon, however, the presence of pathogenic bacteria such as Rickettsia rickettsii (cause of spotted fever) and Borrelia burgdorferi (cause of Lyme disease in humans) has already been reported in this tick species, with B. burgdorferi being found in species of Dermacentor nitens in the State of Paraná. 8 The methodologies used in the control of mosquitoes that transmit these diseases of health and economic importance are generally chemical, through insecticides and larvicides, but they can also be mediated by mechanical control, where the main activities involve the protection, destruction or proper destination of breeding sites; reservoir drainage; as well as installation of screens on doors and windows.…”

“…However, due to the particularities of each tick species, attention must be paid to the different control methods and treatment periods. 7 Biological control methods use predators or pathogens with the potential to reduce the vector population. 10 Among the available pathogen alternatives, bacteria, fungi or parasites that may release toxins are used, as in the case of Bacillus thuringiensis, which has a larvicidal action.…”

“…Queda de desempenho é a principal queixa associada à babesiose equina, em especial quando se trata de animais de competição (CUNHA et al, 1996;PEREIRA et al, 2004). Em um estudo de Botteon et al (2005) KAPPMEYER et al, 1999;CUNHA et al, 2002).…”
