CANINE MAI^ARIA 



Synonyms. Piroplasmosis of dogs; malignant malarial 

 jaundice; malignant jaundice in the dog. 



§ 288. Characterization. This disease is characterized 

 by a high temperature, rapid course, jaundice and anemia. 

 These are due to the invasion of the blood with Piroplasma 

 canis. 



§ 289. History. In 1895, Piana and Galli-Valerio 

 found the piroplasma in the blood of dogs. In 1899, Hutcheon 

 described a malarial fever in dogs that could be transmitted by 

 inoculation subcutaneously with the infected material. Koch 

 found the disease in Africa, and Celli mentions a modified 

 form of the affection in Lombardy. In 1901, Nocard and 

 Almy reported several cases of piroplasmosis in dogs presented 

 at the clinic of the Alfort Veterinary School. Robertson
