Influence of Invasion of Intracellular Parasites on Platelet Response in Dogs Based on Clinical Cases

Abstract: Blood morphology in dogs infected with intracellular parasites of the genera Babesia and Ehrlichia was examined. The parasites were detected in peripheral blood smears stained by the May-Grünwald-Giemsa method. During the parasitic invasion, a decrease in thrombocyte counts was observed. This was connected with forming platelet aggregates. It was noted that the number of giant platelets simultaneously increased.

“…Possible reasons are an immune-mediated destruction of the platelets and an increased consumption [ 24 ], co-infections with Ehrlichia spp. [ 26 ] or formation of platelet aggregates [ 27 ]. Thrombocytes appear to also play a major role in the response to human erythrocyte Plasmodium falciparum infections (malaria).…”
