Molecular survey of Hepatozoon spp. and piroplasmids in rodents and marsupials from midwestern Brazil, with evidence of a novel Piroplasmida clade (“South American Rodentia”) in the echimyid rodent Thrichomys pachyurus [PDF]
Parasitology ResearchThe order Piroplasmida (e.g., Babesia, Theileria, Cytauxzoon, and Rangelia) and suborder Adelorina (e.g., Hepatozoon) comprise protozoa of the phylum Apicomplexa, which are related to significant economic, veterinary, and medical concerns.

Can Domestic Cats Act as Reservoirs of Cytauxzoon felis?
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 ...

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 During 2009–2012, wild animals were sampled in two areas within the Amazon biome of Brazil, in the states of Mato Grosso and Pará. Animal tissues and blood were molecularly tested for the presence of Piroplasmida (genera Babesia, Theileria, Cytauxzoon ...

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

Development of Multiplex Assays for the Identification of Zoonotic Babesia Species [PDF]
PathogensMore than one-hundred Babesia species that affect animals and humans have been described, eight of which have been associated with emerging and underdiagnosed zoonoses. Most diagnostic studies in humans have used serology or molecular assays based on the
