Abstract
Peripheral blood samples from dogs infected with Babesia gibsoni were analyzed by flow cytometry for parasitized erythrocytes after staining with hydroethidine. Cells identified as positive by flow cytometry we re erythrocytes infected with B. gibsoni. Analysis of 26 samples by fl ow cytometry for % parasitemia revealed a correlation coefficient of 0 .97 in comparison to the conventional method of light microscopy.
