Molecular Genetics of <i>Hepatozoon canis</i> With a Note on Effect of Parasite on the Complete Blood Count Profile of Canine Hosts. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A total of 654 blood samples were collected from healthy dogs in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in Pakistan and screened for the presence of Hepatozoon canis. Genetic diversity of the detected H. canis DNA, infection‐associated risk factors, and changes in the complete blood count of the host due to parasitic activity were also evaluated.

Challenging the Clinical Paradigm of Hepatozoon canis: A Primary Pathogen Causing Clinically Significant Disease at Low Parasitaemia and a Chronic Inflammatory State. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Hepatozoon canis causes significant clinical disease even at low parasitaemia and induces chronic subclinical anaemia and inflammation in dogs. Lack of tick control is the main modifiable risk factor. Molecular diagnosis is far more sensitive than microscopy, challenging the traditional view that disease severity depends solely on parasite burden ...

First detection and molecular identification of Babesia gibsoni and Hepatozoon canis in an Asiatic wild dog (Cuon alpinus) from Thailand. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl, 2022
Babesia spp. and Hepatozoon spp. are apicomplexan parasites that infect a wide range of domestic and wild animals. The life cycle of these parasites requires a tick vector as a definitive host and various vertebrates as reservoir hosts.

First evidence of vertical Hepatozoon canis transmission in dogs in Europe. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2022
Background Hepatozoon canis is a protozoal agent that is known to be transmitted by oral uptake of H. canis-infected Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato ticks in dogs. Vertical transmission of H.

Molecular identification and associated risk factors of Hepatozoon canis among dogs visiting veterinary clinics in Tehran, Iran. [PDF]

BMC Vet Res
Hepatozoon canis is a protozoan parasite with a complex life cycle, involving asexual development in vertebrate hosts and sexual reproduction within tick vectors. This study aimed to explore the prevalence and associated risk factors of H.

Fatal babesiosis in a free-ranging iberian wolf co-infected with <i>Hepatozoon canis</i> and <i>Leishmania infantum</i>: Epidemiological implications for the cantabrian wolf population. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl
Health surveillance of large carnivores, such as the Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus), allows the early detection of emerging and established pathogens in natural environments, due to their position in the top of the food chain.

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

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Istanbul, the largest metropolis in Türkiye, is home to a notable population of stray cats. While cats enrich the city's culture, they can also transmit various diseases, posing diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aimed to detect infections in stray cats using PCR and sequencing to identify Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella, Hepatozoon ...
