Endemic Diseases Of Pets In Nigeria (dog Edition) by Nobody: 4:13pm On Feb 15, 2021 |
Endemic diseases are basically diseases that are common or prevalent in a region (country, continent, state e.t.c). Diseases such as Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis are endemic in Nigeria and are also called tick borne diseases.These disease are transmitted by ticks and can be prevented by fumigation of the environment, tick baths, and flea collars. Babesiosis is usually characterized by i)Lethargy ( state of sleepiness or deep unresponsiveness and inactivity ii)Lack of appetite iii)Weight loss iv)Fever v)Dark stool and urine vi)Anemia vii)Jaundice viii) Swollen abdomen. The prognosis for a dog diagnosed with babesiosis is guarded depending on what body systems are affected at the time of diagnosis. Babesiosis may be transmitted transplacentally (to unborn puppies in the uterus of their mothers). Dogs may also be inadvertently infected through tainted blood transfusion. Dogs housed in kennel settings with poor tick control are at a higher risk for developing babesiosis. If such symptoms are seen in your pets, please consult a veterinarian immediately.
