Piroplasmosis is associated with
Babesia
How is Lyme Disease transmitted?
ticks
Which of the following blood parasites resembles rabbit ears or tear drops when seen under the microscope?
Babesia
Dirofilaria immitis is a relatively common nematode found in dogs
true
Another name for tropical canine pancytopenia (TCP) is called __________________.
Ehrlichia
The causative agent of Lyme Disease is?
Borrelia burgdorferi
Dirofilaria immitis uses a dog or cat flea as a host
false
Dirofilaria immitis affects other species besides dogs
true
Feline infectious anemia is caused by Haemobartonella felis.
true
A direct smear examination is the best way to determine the type of microfilariae?
true
Feline Infectious anemia is caused by
HEMOBARTONELLA FELIS. gram negative rickettsial bacterial agent
With FIA, repeated blood smears may be needed because
THE ORGANISMS MAY BE CYCLIC. the general appearance of the parasite can be mistaken for other organisms, the repeat smear is to avoid mistakes
The principle vector of Babesia in the United States is
TICKS.
The characteristic signs of a dog with Lyme Disease are
LIMPING AND ARTHRITIS.
TCP usually results with what type of clinical laboratory signs?
BLEEDING AND HEMORRHAGE
Piroplasmosis in horses is caused by
BABESIA EQUI.
If the rate of red blood cell destruction exceeds the erythropoiesis formation then the resulting condition is termed
ANEMIA.
FIA and FIV are mostly diseases of _______ cats.
IMMUNE SUPPRESED
Blood parasites may be present in or on
THE SURFACE OF CELLS.
What are the two common red blood cell parasites of ruminants?
Anaplasma and babesia
What are the two common red blood cell parasites in dogs?
EHRLICHIA AND BABESIA
What are the two nematodes that may be found in dogs’ blood?
Dirofilaria immitis and Dipetalonema reconditum
How do the microfilaria of the Dirofilaria immitis and Dipetalonema reconditum look different in a direct blood smear? (although we seldom look at direct smears)

SOME OF THE MICROFILARIA OF DIPETALONEMA WILL HAVE A BUTTON HOOKED TAIL


Dirofilaria immitis will be larger in number, the parasite will undulate in one place, has a tapered head with a straight tail and are large (120-310mm); whereas dipetalonema reconditum are fewer in number, they move across the field, have a blunted head and a button –hooked tail and are much smaller than the dirofilaria immitis.

Another name for tropical canine pancytopenia (TCP) is called
EHRLICHIOSIS.
TCP is transmitted by the
tick (brown dog tick)
What parasites are seen as multiple, basophilic, pear-shaped bodies within the RBCs in smears stained with Wright's, Giemsa, or NMB?
BABESIA
This parasite is often treated with doxycycline or tetracycline, and has morulaes made up of multiple small blue/purple coccoid structures called elementary bodies
ehrlichia
This parasite is a round intra-erythrocytic body found near the margin of the RBC, once infected cattle are carriers for life (tick borne disease)
anaplasma
Piroplasma is transmitted by?
ticks
