Molecular analysis of blood-associated pathogens in European wildcats (Felis silvestris silvestris) from Germany

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
European wildcats (Felis silvestris silvestris) have not been investigated in large numbers for blood-associated pathogens in Germany, because wildcats, being a protected species, may not be hunted, and the collection of samples is therefore difficult ...

Molecular Characterization of Hemoparasites and Hemoplasmas Infecting Domestic Cats of Southern India

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
In the present study, 111 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy cats belonging to four districts of Kerala, southern India, and they were investigated for the presence of hemoparasites and hemoplasmas by light microscopic examination and ...

Relationships between Cytauxzoon felis and African piroplasmids [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 1987
A cat which had recovered from Cytauxzoon felis infection following treatment with the anti-theilerial drug, parvaquone, showed an increase in piroplasm parasitemia after splenectomy and its blood was suitable for the preparation of antigen smears for the indirect fluorescent antibody test.

Fatal infection caused by Cytauxzoon felis in a captive-reared jaguar (Panthera onca)

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
Fatal infections with Cytauxzoon felis are common in domestic cats, and jaguars (Panthera onca) are believed carriers of this protozoan. Fatal C. felis infections have never been described in jaguars before.

Direct injection of Amblyomma americanum ticks with Cytauxzoon felis

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
Cytauxzoon felis is a tick-borne hemoprotozoan parasite that causes life-threatening disease in domestic cats in the United States. Currently, the platforms for C. felis research are limited to natural or experimental infection of domestic cats. This study aims to develop an alternative model by infecting Amblyomma americanum ticks with C.

The Establishment of a Novel In Vitro System for Culturing <i>Cytauxzoon felis</i>. [PDF]

Pathogens
Cytauxzoonosis, a highly fatal tick-borne disease in domestic cats caused by Cytauxzoon felis, poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to the inability to culture the parasite in vitro. This study aimed to artificially replicate C. felis infection and characterize in vitro replication kinetics.

Cytauxzoon felis cytochrome b gene mutation associated with atovaquone and azithromycin treatment

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 2432-2437, November/December 2020., 2020
Abstract Background Atovaquone and azithromycin (A&A) with supportive care improve survival rates in cats with cytauxzoonosis. Resistance to atovaquone via parasite cytochrome b gene (cytb) mutations occurs in other Apicomplexan protozoans but is not described in Cytauxzoon felis. Objective To serially characterize the C.

Post mortem protozoan hemoparasites detection in wild mammals from Mato Grosso state, Midwestern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
To a better insight into the epidemiology and genetic diversity of protozoan hemoparasites infections in wild mammals, this study aimed to the post mortem detection of DNA from species of the order Piroplasmida (Babesia sp., Cytauxzoon sp., and Theileria
