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 ...

Successful Management of Septic Splenitis in an Abyssinian Cat

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
A 3.5‐year‐old female neutered Abyssinian with pyrexia of unknown origin and splenomegaly was diagnosed with septic splenitis. Complete resolution of clinical signs followed splenectomy and antibiotic treatment with pradofloxacin. Septic splenitis, although uncommon, should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with splenomegaly and ...

Spatial Heterogeneity of Tick‐Borne Pathogens Outpaces Genetic Structuring in Anatolian Dermacentor reticulatus Populations

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Understanding how vector population structure influences pathogen circulation remains a major challenge in tick‐borne disease ecology, particularly in biogeographically transitional regions. Dermacentor reticulatus, a widespread Palearctic tick species and vector of multiple pathogens, provides a useful system to investigate this relationship in a ...

First report of Hepatozoon silvestris in a domestic cat (Felis catus) from New York

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports
Hepatozoon spp. are apicomplexan parasites that infect a wide variety of animals including felids, with cats serving as the intermediate host and blood-feeding arthropods serving as the definitive hosts. Although three distinct Hepatozoon spp. have been described infecting domestic cats, little is known about the transmission and pathogenicity of ...

Infection caused by a parasite most closely related to Hepatozoon luiperdjie in cats from Hungary

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Feline hepatozoonosis, due to Hepatozoon felis, has been recently reported in wild cats from Central Europe. At the same time, only two isolated cases were reported in domestic cats, one in Austria, and another in Hungary. In the southern part of Central

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Serum amyloid A concentration in naturally infected cats with Hepatozoon felis alone or coinfected with other pathogens

Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences
Feline hepatozoonosis, caused by Hepatozoon felis and occasionally other Hepatozoon species, is a vector-borne disease transmitted through the ingestion of infected arthropods, primarily ticks. This study investigates serum amyloid A, a major acute-phase protein, in cats naturally infected with H. felis or co-infected with other vector-borne pathogens.
