一只感染吉氏巴贝斯虫的母狗与一只未感染的狗交配，以确定这种寄生虫是否可以垂直传播。母狗产下了一窝四只活的和一只死胎的幼崽。这四只幼崽在出生后14至39天内死于先天性巴贝斯虫病。在所有五只幼崽的组织中都检测到吉氏巴贝斯虫DNA。这些结果表明，垂直传播是通过子宫途径而不是经乳腺途径发生的。这是首例证实经胎盘巴贝斯虫感染的动物物种。(C)2005澳大利亚寄生虫学会有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
A Babesia gibsoni infected bitch was mated with an uninfected dog in order to determine whether this parasite could be vertically transmitted. The bitch delivered a litter of four live and one stillborn pup. The four pups died from congenital babesiosis between 14 and 39 days post-birth. Babesia gibsoni DNA was detected in tissue from all five pups. These results show that vertical transmission occurred by the uterine route and not via the transmammary route. This is the first confirmed report of transplacental Babesia infection in any animal species. (c) 2005 Australian Society for Parasitology Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
