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 ...201222776107
temporal occurrence and environmental risk factors associated with cytauxzoonosis in domestic cats.cytauxzoon felis is a tick-transmitted protozoan parasite of domestic and wild felids in the south-central and southeastern united states. infection of domestic cats (felis domesticus) with c. felis is typically acute and characterized by fever, anorexia, listlessness, anemia, icterus and usually death within 19-21 days. to determine the temporal occurrence and environmental risk factors associated with infection of c. felis in domestic cats from oklahoma, information in the electronic medical r ...200818272289
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 ...201323131576
distribution and prevalence of cytauxzoon felis in bobcats (lynx rufus), the natural reservoir, and other wild felids in thirteen states.cytauxzoon felis, a protozoan parasite of wild and domestic felids, is the causative agent of cytauxzoonosis in domestic and some exotic felids in the united states. the bobcat (lynx rufus) is the natural reservoir for this parasite, but other felids such as florida panthers (puma concolor coryii) and domestic cats may maintain long-term parasitemias and serve as reservoirs. experimentally, two tick species, dermacentor variabilis and amblyomma americanum, have demonstrated the ability to transm ...201021071149
