Feline cytauxzoonosis is a disease caused by Cytauxzoon felis, a protozoan that infects the red blood cells and macrophages. It is responsible for an acute and often fatal disease in domestic cats. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of C. felis infections in healthy cats. Piroplasm forms were seen in the erythrocytes of 2 cats, and C. felis DNA was identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in one of them. The results demonstrate that erythrocytic piroplasmids associated with tick-borne parasitic protozoa may be found circulating in the blood of healthy cats in Rio de Janeiro. These can be differentiated from the morphologically similar forms of species such as Babesia by analysis of DNA, thereby demonstrating the potential for further studies of feline populations in Brazil.

巴西里约热内卢健康猫的 CYTAUXZOON FELIS DNA 检测

猫 cytauxzoonosis 是一种由Cytauxzoon felis引起的疾病,它是一种感染红细胞和巨噬细胞的原生动物。它是导致家猫急性且通常致命的疾病的原因。本研究的目的是调查健康猫中C. felis感染的发生情况。在 2 只猫的红细胞中发现了 Piroplasm 形式,其中一只猫通过聚合酶链反应 (PCR) 鉴定了C. felis DNA。结果表明,可能在里约热内卢的健康猫的血液中循环发现与蜱传寄生原生动物相关的红细胞梨原体。这些可以与形态相似的物种(例如巴贝虫)区分开来 通过分析 DNA,从而证明了进一步研究巴西猫科动物种群的潜力。
