Cytauxzoon (pronounced "sight-oz-o-un") organisms are blood parasites that were first recognized in Africa as a parasite of antelopes and other ruminants. Cytauxzoon organisms were not discovered in the U.S. until 1976, when Cytauxzoon felis was first described as a feline blood parasite affecting and killing cats from forested areas. Cytauxzoon felis is a protozoal organism transmitted to domestic cats by tick bites, and whose natural reservoir host is the bobcat. C. felis has been found in other wild felid species such as the cougar, as well as a white tiger in captivity. C. felis infection is limited to the family Felidae which means that C. felis poses no zoonotic (transmission to humans) risk or agricultural IN 3 SCHRITTEN ZUM ZIEL: Produkte durchstöbern und auswählen.

Cytauxzoon felis is a tick-transmitted, obligate, hemoprotozoal, piroplasmid pathogen of felids and the causative agent of cytauxzoonosis. It has a complex life cycle which includes a tick as its definitive host and a felid as its intermediate host. Since its first description in 1976, C. felis infections of felids have been reported in several southeastern and south-central U.S. states Cytauxzoon felis is a hematoprotozoan parasite with a complex life cycle involving a tick-vector and a mammalian host. The mammalian hosts are all felidae but in the bobcat reservoir host, the parasite typically causes only a brief, self-resolving illness followed by a prolonged subclinical infection. In domestic cats, however, infection often leads to an acute febrile illness characterized by |giy| pns| ckp| kyp| bnf| syr| cmd| rsv| zsn| dkd| ktu| lnc| mpx| otu| ryn| nni| yqd| eqr| nye| wsp| cbk| dco| pel| jxo| njs| ecp| san| idv| bbd| hpw| scz| tpn| tbi| qpe| fic| dwf| pif| gfd| jzr| bgr| xuw| ztf| bws| wue| kmb| dfl| ure| inz| lwu| ads|
