For UK readers - Babesiosis was Unkown in the U.K. But may not be in the future as reported in dogs 2016.

I know many areas in some parts of the country are now dog free zones because of Lyme - I meet quite a few people with this infection so it is a common think to pick up if you walk in grass & woodland.
