Background: Canine babesiosis, a tick-borne disease caused by Babesia canis,
shows a seasonality whose relationship with local weather conditions has not been
fully investigated. Objectives: Meteorological conditions can favour the tick-vector
activity, and thus lead to an increased number of cases of canine babesiosis. Hence,
our study looks into the link between the number of recorded cases, on the one
hand, and temperature and relative humidity on the other with an aim to quantify
their correlations. Material and Methods: Over 2013–2016, the data were
collected in Belgrade, the capital of the Republic of Serbia. The meteorological
parameters were obtained from the Republic Hydrometeorological Service of
Serbia. The analysis includes correlations with a time lag, given in number of weeks,
which shifts corresponding correlation pairs and shows a delayed effect of weather
conditions. The time lag ranges between 0 and 52. Results: Canine babesiosis
occurrence shows a pronoun...ced maximum in the spring and a less marked one in
the autumn. For the spring period, statistically significant correlation coefficients
imply that over one year prior to the disease spring peak, temperature is more
strongly linked with the number of cases than relative humidity. Conclusion:
Temperature and relative humidity, through their influence on population of
infected ticks, seem to be important meteorological drivers of the spring maximum
of canine babesios in Belgrade. Further understanding of this interplay can help
better contain the disease, and project its possible spread to other regions
prompted by climate change.
