Differences in the values of hematological parameters between dogs infected with B. gibsoni and B. canis (mean ± SD).

Variables	Dogs infected with				P value
	B. gibsoni	B. canis	B. canis
			UC	C
RBC	4.41 ± 1.41	5.27 ± 1.72	5.88 ± 1.13b	4.24 ± 2.06	< 0.001
Hb	9.71 ± 3.07	11.54 ± 3.88	13.07 ± 2.77b	8.97 ± 4.18	< 0.001
PCV	0.29 ± 0.09	0.32 ± 0.11	0.37 ± 0.08a	0.24 ± 0.12	< 0.001

P value—significance of the analysis of variance, n.s., not significant; RBC, red blood cells; Hb, hemoglobin; PCV, packed cell volume; UC, uncomplicated form; C, complicated form.
