Veterinary doctors Subhamoy Ghosh and Shamimdra Nath Sarkar from Kolkata have made a notable advancement in veterinary molecular diagnostics by having their research on Babesia Gibsoni accepted into the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. This protozoan parasite infects dogs, leading to severe health issues such as anemia and fever. The researchers conducted experiments over the past two months to enhance treatment for affected canines. Their findings, now published under GenBank accession number PZ381575, contribute to the global understanding of this significant blood parasite, which is responsible for over 94% of canine babesiosis cases in Bengal. The gene sequencing acts as a 'genetic identity card' for the parasite, aiding in accurate diagnosis and future research on tick-borne diseases. This publication highlights the capability of local veterinary research facilities, like the Animal Health Pathology Lab in Kolkata, to contribute to international scientific data, showcasing the growing field of veterinary genomics in India.
