| lesions associated with pulmonary parasites in bobcats (felis rufus) from arkansas. | two of five bobcats (felis rufus) from southwestern arkansas had natural pulmonary infections of paragonimus kellicotti and filaroides rostratus. pairs of p. kellicotti were found in spherical cyst-like structures approximately 1 cm in diameter. filaroides rostratus were seen as serpentine pale white areas on the pleural surface and also firmly embedded in fibrous capsules in the pulmonary parenchyma. histologic lesions associated with the presence of these parasites consisted primarily of a ver ... | 1991 | 2023320 |
| potential ecological distribution of cytauxzoon felis in domestic cats in oklahoma, missouri, and arkansas. | the ecological distribution of cytauxzoon felis, an often-fatal tick-borne apicomplexan that infects domestic cats, has not been evaluated or identified despite its continued emergence. infection of c. felis is characterized by lethargy, icterus, fever, anorexia, anemia, and death. the natural vertebrate reservoir of c. felis is the bobcat (lynx rufus). to determine the possible distribution of c. felis in three states where infection is common (oklahoma, missouri, and arkansas), two separate ap ... | 2013 | 23131576 |
| variation in the its-1 and its-2 rrna genomic regions of cytauxzoon felis from bobcats and pumas in the eastern united states and comparison with sequences from domestic cats. | cytauxzoon felis, a tick-borne protozoan parasite, is the causative agent of cytauxzoonosis in domestic cats in the united states. the natural reservoir for this parasite is the bobcat (lynx rufus), which typically does not develop clinical signs. although not likely important reservoirs, c. felis has also been detected in pumas (puma concolor) in florida and louisiana. recent studies suggest that specific genotypes of c. felis that circulate in domestic cats may be associated with variable clin ... | 2012 | 22776107 |

| hematology, intestinal parasites, and selected disease antibodies from a population of bobcats (felis rufus) in central arkansas. | eight bobcats with adjoining or overlapping home ranges were examined. hematological values were within previously reported ranges. six bobcats demonstrated antibody titers to toxoplasma gondii. isospora spp., taenia taeniaeformis, spirometra mansoides, physoloptera rara, toxocara cati, strongyloides spp., trichurus spp., capillaria spp., and ancyclostoma spp. were found also in the animals examined. the mean number of parasite species per host was 4.1. all bobcats tested negative for serum anti ... | 1988 | 3352091 |
