http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-35794126

This new talks about babesiosis a dog disease. A vet warned that a tick-borne disease that is often fatal in dogs is likely to spread around the UK. Babesiosis is a malaria-like parasitic disease transmitted by ticks, it causes the immune system to destroy its own blood cells. Symptoms include fever, weight loss, fast breathing...It is very rare in humans but is quite common in mammals

Four dogs were diagnosed with babesiosis in Harlow, who were all exercised on the same patch of land. This desease has never been recorded before in the UK, according to the vet. All four survived but were "seriously ill" and two needed blood transfusions. The ticks were founded in an area just south of the town centre.
They are doing everything they can but every tick will make up to 1000 eggs and 
it's not just Harlow that needs to be concerned, in time it will spread to the rest of the country. Until 2011 was compulsory to treated imported dogs for tiks before entering in UK.

PERSONAL OPINION:
I found it interesting this new because we are not accustomed to hear about animals and their problems. They also must be attended and cared, so it feels good to know that they take measures. I hope they find solutions because it could be worst if ticks make up that awesome quantity...

VOCABULARY:
Babesiosis, tick
