Abstract

Twelve coyotes (Canis latrans), three bobcats (Lynx rufus) and six ocelots (Felis pardalis) from the Gulf Coast of Texas were infected with Hepatozoon sp. The geographic distribution of infected wild animals coincides with the highest prevalence of Hepatozoon canis infection in domestic dogs for which the wild species may act as a reservoir.

摘要

来自得克萨斯州墨西哥湾沿岸的12只郊狼（犬属）、3只短尾猫（山猫属）和6只豹猫（豹猫属）感染了肝簇虫属。受感染野生动物的地理分布与家犬中犬肝簇虫感染的最高患病率相吻合，而这些野生动物可能是该寄生虫的宿主。
