ResumoCanine babesiosis is an important worldwide, emerging tick-borne haemoprotozoan disease caused by variety of parasites of the genus Babesia typically by Babesia canis vogeli or Babesia gibsoni in India.Present study estimated the incidence of Babesia gibsoni in dog population in and around Shirwal region of Satara district, Maharashtra State.Incidence was estimated on the basis of screening by microscopic examination and PCR.The most common clinical signs exhibited were fever, lethargy, inappetence and pale/congested mucus membranes.A total of 31 blood samples from dogs clinically showing signs of Babesia gibsoni infection were collected from different breeds, genders and age group.Of 31 samples screened, 30 (96.77%) and 31(100%) were positive by microscopy and PCR, respectively.Higher incidence was seen in above one year age group (77.42%) of dogs, breed wise it was more in Labrador Retrievers breed (35.48%) and male dogs (61.29%) were mostly affected.
