Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify the canine haemoparasites in ticks infesting the dogs in the local region. Ticks collected from dogs with clinical signs related to haemoparasites and screened for the haemoparasites Ehrlichia canis, Babesia spp., Hepatozoan canis and Trypanosoma evansi by polymerase chain reaction. The H. canis (9.67%) and E. canis (6.45%) were the haemoparasites detected by PCR. The transmitting tick vector was identified as Rhipicephalus sanguineus.
