Dogs are known to be affected with various hemoprotozoan parasites and rickettsial organism namely Ehrlichia canis, Babesia canis, B. gibsoni, Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Hepatozoon canis. These diseases are transmitted by arthropod vectors which are most prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries. Tickborne diseases are characterized clinically by anorexia, anaemia, pyrexia, multiple internal organ damage. Detailed investigation of clinical and hematological changes associated with tick borne disease is very important for prompt diagnosis and treatment. The present study deals with clinical and haematological changes in the naturally occurring tickborne diseases in canines along with epidemiological parameters like season, breed and age of the animals.
