Extract

Piroplasma Canisis is known to have a wide distribution in Asia. It has been recorded in India by Dalgetty (1904), Christophers (1907) and others, in French Indo-China, by Mathis (1909), in provinces of China, Shan-tung, by Eggebracht (1908), and Kiang-su by Fischer and Scheidemann (1920). Japanese workers have also found infected dogs in Japan. Recently Witkamp has suggested that P. canis might be the cause of the canine jaundice in the Dutch Indies, which has been described by Van Lier. Endemic centres are thus present in countries to the east and west of Malaya, and the islands to the south are suspect on clinical grounds, but the occurrence of P. canis in this country does not appear to have been hitherto recorded.
