Abstract
Changing scenario of climate resulting from global
warming and adversity of nature has also resulted
in emergence and re-emergence of diseases
transmitted by arthropods. Increasing trends of
population growth of dogs has increased the chance
of disease transmission due to readily available
susceptible host. Babesiosis and Hepatozoonosis
and Ehrlichiosis are the main arthropod borne
diseases of dogs prevalent in India. The present
article explains the importance of these arthropod
transmitted infections in kennel dogs, research
progress and reason for their emergence in the
present scenario.
