Background: Canine babesiosis is a disease with a seasonal character. We have
previously observed that in Belgrade, the capital of the Republic of Serbia, 60% of
cases with the acute-phase response (APR) give a notable maximum between mid-
February and May, the so-called “high season”. The other two peak seasons with
less pronounced maxima are in winter, from January to mid-February, and in
autumn, from October to December. Objectives: Based on clinical observations, we
postulate that dogs infected with B. canis in the “high season” develop a more
intense APR than dogs in the other two seasons. Material and Methods: To test this
hypothesis, we compare the relative parasite load and the level of acute-phase
proteins and reactants, their indexes (calculated as a combination of
concentrations of fast and slow positive, and fast and slow negative acute phase
reactants), as well as the concentration of coagulation factors, complete blood
count, and biochemistry among dogs that d...eveloped the disease in the autumn,
winter, and “high season”. Results: The relative parasite load is the lowest, and APR
Indexes are the highest in dogs infected in “high season”. These findings are
accompanied by relatively low creatinine and urea, implying that dogs in “high
season” had hemodilution, thus further suggesting short incubation. Unlike other
acute-phase proteins, fibrinogen showed the lowest concentration in “high
season”. Conclusion: Future research will help unveil the connection between
more intense APR and relatively low parasite load and fibrinogen concentration.
