ABSTRACT

Introduction. The haemoparasites are organisms that can be transmitted by mecanical and biological vectors to domestic animals. Their presence in domestic animals cause an haematic manifestation which affects animal health.
Material and methods. Data from the Parasitology laboratory of the Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia of the Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan, from March 1984 to December 1999, were analized. Information of blood samples from domestic animals tested by Knott technique and blood smear stained by Giemsa 10% were obtained.
Results. A total of 3010 blood samples were analized. The blood samples were from the following animal species: bovine 2438, canine 493, equine 79. The more frequent haemoparasites in different animal species were: bovine: Babesia bovis (2.78%), Babesia bigemina (1.23%) and Anaplasma marginale (15.79%); canine: Dirofilaria immitis (7.42%), Dipetalonema reconditum (5.88%) and Babesia canis (3.92%), and equine Babesia equi (3.79%) and Babesia caballi (2.53%).
Conclusion. It is concluded that bovine, canine and equine in the state of Yucatan are affected by haemoparasites that can affect animal health and production.
