Abstract
Since co-infections with canine tick borne pathogens are common there is greater risk for multiple infections which
may necessitate different clinical management strategies. In the presnet study a multiplex polymerase chain reaction
(mPCR) by using the species specific primers was developed for the simultaneous detection of the most pathogenic
haemoparasites, Trypanosoma evansi, Babesia canis and Hepatozoan canis from the blood of naturally infected
dogs so as to enable early diagnosis and treatment.
