Among the 24 PCR positive cases of B. gibsoni in dogs, 9 (37.5%) were associated with various clinical syndromes. According to the set criterion of various clinical syndromes 4/9 (44.44%) dogs showed hepatopathy, 2/9 (22.22%) showed acute kidney failure and pancreatitis and 1/9 (11.11%) was presented with acute respiratory distress syndromes. Remaining 2 cases of Babesia gibsoni did not show any clinical syndromes as per the set criateria. The mean values of serum biochemical parameters observed among 24 dogs were ALT 73.64±6.80 U/L, ALP 141.80±11.1 U/L, BUN 25.00±2.10 mg/dL, creatinine 0.90±0.08 mg/dL, amylase 639.10±49.10 U/L, and lipase 379.50±47.90 U/L. Among 9 babesiosis poisitive dogs with clinical syndromes, German Shepherds accounted for the largest number (4/9; 44.44%), followed by non-descript and Labradors each 2/9 (22.22%) and Dobermans 1/9 (11.11%).
