Plain-English summary
A dog imported from Italy to Germany was diagnosed with hepatozoonosis, a parasitic infection that can cause serious health issues. In addition to this infection, the dog was also found to have two other infections: Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis, which can affect the dog's blood and overall health. The case highlights the importance of monitoring imported pets for multiple infections. Treatment details were not specified, but addressing these infections is crucial for the dog's recovery.
