Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of infection, the viability of newborn puppies and the degree of transmission of Babesia gibsoni from infected dams during pregnancy and lactation. Infection in the herd reached 75%. A therapeutic protocol including Malarone®, azithromycin and artesunate was administered to lactating B. gibsoni-positive bitches. On day 77 after birth, three of the five positive puppies had a negative PCT test for B. gibsoni, indicating successful treatment via breast milk.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishThis study aimed to determine the incidence of infection, the viability of newborn puppies, and the degree of B. gibsoni transmission from infected dam to offspring during pregnancy and lactation. The incidence of B. gibsoni infection in the litter reached 75%. A therapeutic protocol comprising Malarone®, azithromycin, and artesunate was administered to a lactating B. gibsoni-positive bitch. By day 77 after birth, three out of five positive puppies showed negative PCR tests for B. gibsoni, indicating successful treatment through breast milk during nursing

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceBabesia gibsoni is an emerging blood parasite responsible for canine babesiosis, a severe disease affecting domestic and wild canines worldwide. Despite its relatively small size, this parasite has posed significant challenges to veterinary medicine and animal welfare, causing severe health issues in dogs, including anemia, fever, lethargy, and even death if left untreated.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe results of the work will contribute to broadening knowledge of Babesia gibson, especially from a therapeutic point of view.
