Eight bobcats with adjoining or overlapping home ranges were examined. Hematological values were within previously reported ranges. Six bobcats demonstrated antibody titers to Toxoplasma gondii. Isospora spp., Taenia taeniaeformis, Spirometra mansoides, Physoloptera rara, Toxocara cati, Strongyloides spp., Trichurus spp., Capillaria spp., and Ancyclostoma spp. were found also in the animals examined. The mean number of parasite species per host was 4.1. All bobcats tested negative for serum antibodies to Rocky Mountain spotted fever (Rickettsia rickettsii). Two bobcats had titers less than or equal to 1:20 for tularemia (Francisiella tularensis), and two were positive for leptospirosis (Leptospira spp.).
对八只活动范围相邻或重叠的山猫进行了检查。血液学指标在先前报告的范围内。六只山猫显示出针对刚地弓形虫的抗体滴度。在所检查的动物中还发现了等孢球虫属、带状绦虫、曼氏迭宫绦虫、稀有泡翼线虫、猫弓首蛔虫、类圆线虫属、毛首线虫属、毛细线虫属和钩口线虫属。每只宿主的寄生虫种类平均数为4.1。所有山猫针对落基山斑疹热（立氏立克次体）的血清抗体检测均为阴性。两只山猫兔热病（土拉弗朗西斯菌）的滴度小于或等于1:20，两只山猫钩端螺旋体病（钩端螺旋体属）检测呈阳性。
