| experimental infection of domestic cats (felis domesticus) with cytauxzoon manul from pallas' cats (otocolobus manul). | in a random, blind study, six domestic cats were assigned to two treatment groups that received either sterile water or dexamethasone by subcutaneous injection prior to intravenous inoculation with pallas' cat (otocolobus manul) blood infected with cytauxzoon manul. a seventh domestic cat served as a control and was inoculated only with sterile water. cats were monitored for clinical signs consistent with cytauxzoonosis, and periodically screened for hemoparasitemia. all domestic cats (6/6) that ... | 2007 | 17442493 |
| first report of cytauxzoon sp. infection in a domestic cat from portugal. | cytauxzoonosis is an emerging and life-threatening tick-borne feline disease caused by haemoprotozoan parasites of the genus cytauxzoon. information regarding epidemiological and clinical presentation of infections by species other than cytauxzoon felis is scant. a case of cytauxzoon sp. infection is described in a 2-year-old mixed breed male domestic cat from portugal, presenting a history of acute lethargy, anorexia and pyrexia. | 2016 | 27160193 |
| first detection of cytauxzoon spp. infection in european wildcats (felis silvestris silvestris) of italy. | cytauxzoonosis is an emerging, tick-transmitted, protozoan disease affecting domestic and wild felids and caused by cytauxzoon felis, cytauxzoon manul and cytauxzoon spp. this study aimed to determine the presence of infection with cytauxzoon spp. in felis silvestris silvestris in italy, in order to enhance the comprehension of its pattern distribution among domestic cat populations. in addition, wildcats were tested for other endemic vector-borne pathogens in italy. the carcasses of 21 f. s. si ... | 2016 | 27150590 |
| novel babesia and hepatozoon agents infecting non-volant small mammals in the brazilian pantanal, with the first record of the tick ornithodoros guaporensis in brazil. | taking into account the diversity of small terrestrial mammals of the pantanal, the present study aimed to verify the occurrence of infection by ehrlichia spp., anaplasma spp., rickettsia spp., hepatozoon spp., babesia spp. and parasitism by ticks in non-volant small mammals collected in the brazilian pantanal. samples of blood, liver and spleen were collected from 64 captured animals, 22 marsupials and 42 rodents. pathogen detection was performed by the use of genus-specific polymerase chain re ... | 2016 | 26782931 |
| cytauxzoon infections in wild felids from carpathian-danubian-pontic space: further evidence for a different cytauxzoon species in european felids. | parasitic protists of the genus cytauxzoon are detected in a wide range of wild and domestic felids. bobcats are a confirmed reservoir of cytauxzoon felis in north america while domestic cats are susceptible hosts suffering from severe or fatal illness. cytauxzoon infections are mainly reported from american felids and, recently, several sub-clinical and clinical findings were reported from european, asian, and african felids. in 2014, the collection of organs of 4 eurasian lynx and 12 wild cats ... | 2016 | 26741977 |
