“…About 50% of the Sheep sampled harboured blood parasites. This agrees with Oduye and Dipeolu (1976) who reported that 49% of 800 dogs sampled were positive for blood parasites. In another study of local and exotic pigs.…”

“…Also, this result is not in agreement with the work of [8] who reported a high prevalence of about 50.00% infections in pigs sampled in Ibadan, Nigeria. It also disagrees with the [10] who observed 51.00% prevalence of heamo parasites infections in local pigs at Ibandan and 50.20% prevalence of blood protozoan in pigs at Abeokuta respectively.On the contrary [11], [12] reported high prevalence of 61.00% in cross-breed pigs in the upper east regime of Ghana.…”

-A study was conducted to determine the prevalence of haemo and gastro-intestinal parasites of pigs in some parts of Langtang north local government area of Plateau State. 171 blood and 171 faecal samples were collected from 171 pigs and were analyzed in the National Veterinary Research Institute, Vom, using floatation technique and thin blood smear for faecal and blood samples respectively. Results of the analysis showed that 36.84% pigs were tested positive for haemoparasites and 35.09% pigs were tested positive for gastro-intestinal parasites. The study recorded high prevalence with Babesia trautmanni 32(18.17%) and lowest prevalence with Eperythrozoon suis 6(3.51%) for haemoparasites parasites prevalence. For gastro-intestinal parasites prevalence, Oesophagostomum dentatum & Coccidia spp recorded equal high prevalence with 34(14.04) in each case while Ascaris suum, Fasciolopsis buski and Globourcephalus diducta recorded lowest with 1(0.58) in each case. In both haemo and gastro-intestinal parasites prevalence, there was no significant different (p>0.05) among the parasites encountered. No significant variations (p>0.05) were observed in relation to sex and age prevalence. From this result, different sex and age groups are equally susceptible to haemo and gastro-intestinal parasites infection in the two study districts. The study recommends tick vector eradication and regular deworming in the study area.

“…Various studies have been carried out on prevalence of Babesisois in dogs in Nigeria: Oduye and Dipeolu (1976) in blood smears made from 500 dogs that were presented to veterinary clinics in Ibadan, Oyo State, and were examined microscopically; found 26.0% of the dogs to be infected with Babesia canis (sensu lato), while 20.2% were infected with Babesia gibsoni. Babesia canis (sensu lato) has been reported from Zaria, Kaduna State (Useh et al, 2003).…”

Key words:Hunting dogs, Babesia species, prevalence, Microscopy, PCR.Dogs are commonly used for hunting in Nigeria and they may harbour parasites without showing any clinical features. Babesiosis is a worldwide, tick-borne, protozoal haemoparasitic disease caused by parasites of genus Babesia. This study assessed by means of microscopy and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the presence of Babesia species in 109 indigenous Nigerian hunting dogs. One hundred and nine hunting dogs were sampled from 21 different locations, from May 2014 to March 2015 with ages ranging from less than 1 to greater than 6 years. The average weight of the dogs studied was 12.20±0.33kg with the mean Packed Cell Volume (PCV) of 35.2±0.86% and mean age of 3.01±0.23 years. Using microscopy 24 (22%) of the dogs were positive for Babesia species. There were no statistically significant differences in the gender (p=0.84), age (p= 0.71), weight (p= 0.45) and PCV (p=0.87) of infected and non-infected dogs. With PCR assay, 52 (47.7%) of the sampled dogs were positive to Babesia spp. Of which 18 (34.6%) were male and 34(65.4%) were females. There were no statistical significance between the presence of Babesia spp. and sex (p=0.11) also with PCV (p=0.06) of hunting dogs but there were significant differences in their ages (p=0.04) and weights (p= 0.01). Using PCR as a gold standard the specificity and sensitivity of microscopy for detecting Babesia were 77.2% and 21.2 % respectively. The positive predictive value for microscopy was 45.8% while the negative predictive value was 51.8% with a diagnostic accuracy of 50%. The implication of the presence of the parasite in the study areas is discussed.
