Molecular detection and phylogeny of Hepatozoon species in a wide spectrum of hosts from northwestern China [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
BackgroundHepatozoon, an apicomplexan, mainly infects amphibians, reptiles and mammals, accidentally causes anemia and icterus in human. Large-scale investigation remains lack. This study examined the occurrence of Hepatozoon spp.

First autochthonous clinical case of Hepatozoon silvestris in a domestic cat in Italy with unusual presentation [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Hepatozoon spp. is the causative agent of a vector-borne parasitic disease in many animal species. In felids, Hepatozoon felis, Hepatozoon canis and Hepatozoon silvestris have been molecularly isolated.

Eco-epidemiology of Hepatozoon sp. in wild rodents in protected and rural areas in north-central Chile [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Human-induced environmental changes can modify the transmission patterns of arthropod-borne infections across multiple ecological scales. This study evaluated the influence of habitat alteration on Hepatozoon sp.

Host switching is the main driver of coevolution between Hepatozoon parasites and their vertebrate hosts [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Hepatozoon spp. are apicomplexan parasites with a heteroxenous life cycles, involving vertebrate intermediate hosts and invertebrate definitive hosts.

Hepatozoon infections in domestic and wild Carnivora: etiology, prevalence, clinical disease, diagnosis and treatment, and redescription of Hepatozoon silvestris, H. martis, and H. ursi [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Hepatozoon spp. are common pathogens in dogs and other Carnivora in many parts of the world, especially in the tropics. There is considerable taxonomic debate concerning the Hepatozoon species infecting Carnivora.

Prevalence and Sequence Analysis of Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Diseases in Stray Cats in Istanbul [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background Feline vector‐borne diseases are caused by various pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Many of these infections have zoonotic importance, and cats can serve as sentinels for monitoring the health of both humans and pets.

Morphometric and Molecular Insights into Hepatozoon spp. in Wild and Synanthropic Rodents from Southern and Southeastern Brazil [PDF]

Pathogens
Small rodents are known hosts of various pathogens, including Hepatozoon, but until now, in Brazil, only Hepatozoon milleri has been described in these animals.
