Abstract
The recognition of canine babesiosis in North Carolina caused by Babesia gi bsoni documents the expansion of the previously reported endemic area of th is disease. Clinical signs ranged from severe hemolytic anemia and thromboc ytopenia to subclinical infections. No infected dogs had traveled to endemi c areas, Antibabesial treatment failed to eradicate the organism from infec ted dogs.
