Although babesiosis in domestic cats has been reported sporadically from various countries, as a significant disease it appears to be a distinctly South African phenomenon. Apart from an inland focus, feline babesiosis is reported regularly only from coastal regions. The infection is assumed to be tick\u2010borne, but the vector has not been identified. Feline babesiosis tends to be an afebrile, chronic, low\u2010grade disease. The most frequently reported complaints by owners are anorexia and lethargy. The main clinical findings are anemia, depression, and occasionally icterus. Concurrent infections (e.g., <jats:italic>Mycoplasma haemofelis<\/jats:italic>, FeLV, FIV) may contribute to the clinical picture. Laboratory findings commonly include regenerative anemia, elevation of alanine transaminase (but not alkaline phosphatase) and total bilirubin concentrations, and a variety of electrolyte disturbances. Secondary immune\u2010mediated hemolytic anemia can be seen occasionally. Drugs effective against other <jats:italic>Babesia<\/jats:italic> species give variable and questionable results. The drug of choice is primaquine phosphate, which effects a clinical cure but does not sterilize the infection. Repeated or chronic therapy may be required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1307.027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,16]],"date-time":"2004-12-16T23:57:42Z","timestamp":1103241462000},"page":"183-186","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Feline Babesiosis in South Africa: A Review"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"1026","author":[{"given":"BANIE L.","family":"PENZHORN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"TANYA","family":"SCHOEMAN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"LINDA S.","family":"JACOBSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_2_2_2","first-page":"947","article-title":"Feline babesiosis","volume":"27","author":"Bourdeau P.","year":"1996","journal-title":"Point Vet"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_3_2","first-page":"249","article-title":"A case of feline babesiosis in Haute\u2010Saone, France","volume":"94","author":"Leger N.","year":"1992","journal-title":"Sci.
