More commonly, a larval tick feeds upon a domestic cow, an African buffalo or a water buffalo , releasing the parasites into the animal's bloodstream.
Members of the Onion family can be dangerous to dogs. The Alliaceae family, of the Allium genus, or the onion family, includes onion, garlic, shallots, scallions, chives, and leeks. [15] These contain N-propyl disulfide, Allyl propyl disulfide, and sodium N-propylthiosulfate which can cause red blood cell damage and anemia.
The horse may have a recurrent fever and anemia, and may relapse to the subacute or acute form even several years after the original attack. [citation needed] A horse may also not appear to have any symptoms, yet still tests positive for EIA antibodies. Such a horse can still pass on the disease.
Red blood cells normally survive an average of about 120 days, becoming damaged (their oxygen-carrying capacity becomes compromised) as they age.
Babesia canis is a parasite that infects red blood cells and can lead to anemia. [1] This is a species that falls under the overarching genus Babesia.It is transmitted by the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and is one of the most common piroplasm infections. [2]
Anemia (also spelled anaemia in British English) is a blood disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen.This can be due to a lower than normal number of red blood cells, a reduction in the amount of hemoglobin available for oxygen transport, or abnormalities in hemoglobin that impair its function.
Chicken anemia virus, or CAV, is currently a member of the Anelloviridae family which is found worldwide. [1] The virus only affects chickens . [ 2 ] CAV is a non-enveloped icosahedral single stranded DNA virus, [ 3 ] which causes bone marrow atrophy , anemia , and severe immunosuppression .
Neonatal isoerythrolysis (NI), also known as hemolytic icterus or hemolytic anemia, [1] is a disease most commonly seen in kittens and foals, but has also been reported in puppies. It occurs when the mother has antibodies against the blood type of the newborn. A 7 day old foal with neonatal isoerythrolysis.
