Prevalence of Cytauxzoon felis Infection-Carriers in Eastern Kansas Domestic Cats
Pathogens, 2020 Cytauxzoon felis is a hemoprotozoal tick-transmitted pathogen of felids. Felids that survive acute disease often remain infected and serve as reservoirs for subsequent tick transmission to other susceptible felines.
