Cytauxzoon paradoxurus n. sp., a novel Cytauxzoon species identified in common palm civets in Singapore [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background The common palm civet (Paradoxurus musangus) is a species native to Southeast Asia. Highly adapted to urbanised environments, these civets can often be found in proximity to humans and companion animals, raising the concern of pathogen ...

First Detection of Cytauxzoon spp. DNA in Questing Ixodes ricinus Ticks [PDF]

Microorganisms
Feline cytauxzoonosis is an emerging tick-borne disease in Europe. While infections have been reported in different European countries, the tick vector remains unknown. This study investigated 665 ticks collected in 2019 (n = 160), 2022 (n = 7), and 2024

Molecular survey of Cytauxzoon spp. and Hepatozoon spp. in felids using a novel real-time PCR approach [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Tick-transmitted apicomplexans of the genera Cytauxzoon and Hepatozoon affect a wide range of felids worldwide, but little is known about them. Recently, several studies addressed the species circulating in Europe, their distribution, and their hosts ...

Can Domestic Cats Act as Reservoirs of Cytauxzoon felis? [PDF]

Pathogens, 2023
Cytauxzoonosis is a worldwide tick-borne disease of domestic and wild felids, caused by infection of the haemoparasites belonging to the genus Cytauxzoon (Piroplasmida, Apicomplexa), which are apicomplexan protozoans closely related to those of the ...

Diversity of Cytauxzoon spp. (Piroplasmida: Theileriidae) in Wild Felids from Brazil and Argentina [PDF]

Pathogens
Domestic and wild felids are frequently parasitized by apicomplexan protozoa in the genus Cytauxzoon. Expanding species diversity has recently been described within this genus, with potential implications for epidemiology and pathogenesis.

Screening of Domestic Cats from North-Eastern Hungary for Hepatozoon felis and Cytauxzoon europaeus That Cause Infections in Local Wildcat Populations [PDF]

Pathogens, 2023
Among vector-borne protozoa Hepatozoon felis and Cytauxzoon europaeus are considered emerging species in felids in Europe. To investigate the presence of these two protozoa 127 domestic cats and 4 wildcats were screened by PCRs targeting the 18S rRNA ...

Apicomplexan haemoparasites in domestic cats in Romania [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Apicomplexan haemoparasites are protozoans that infect a variety of domestic and wild animal species, as well as humans. Data regarding haemoprotozoans in domestic cats are limited; therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the occurrence
