Dog from multiple grey wolf populations, with the dingo and New Guinea singing dog "breeds" having developed at a time when human populations were more isolated from each other. In the third edition of "Mammal Species of the World" published in 2005, the mammalogist listed under the wolf "Canis lupus" its wild subspecies, and proposed two additional subspecies: ""familiaris" Linneaus, 1758 [domestic dog]" and ""dingo" Meyer, 1793 [domestic dog]". Wozencraft included "hallstromi" - the New Guinea singing dog - as a taxonomic synonym for the dingo. Wozencraft referred to the mDNA study as one of the guides in forming his decision.
Ticks of domestic animals create a potentially fatal inflammatory crisis of the blood. The name redwater (coloured urine) derives from the hemoglobinuria caused by the destruction of red blood cells infected with the merozoite stage of "Babesia"; anemia results from the same destruction. Horses suffer babesiosis or biliary fever when infected by "Ba. equi" or "B. caballi". This occurs in many countries where vector ticks are found, such as "R. e. evertsi", "Hy. truncatum", and "D. nitens". Dogs are at risk from severe infection with "Ba. canis" and its subspecies, transmitted by the dog ticks "R. sanguineus", "D. reticulatus", and "Ha. leachi". Domestic cats
