Freshly collected blood and/or spleen homogenate from an experimentally infected Florida bobcat (Lynx rufus floridanus), which had died of feline cytauxzoonosis, was inoculated into domestic cats. All inoculated cats had clinical signs of feline cytauxzoonosis and died within 2 weeks after they were inoculated. Similar material collected from an eastern bobcat (Lynx rufus rufus) carrying an experimentally infected Cytauxzoon felis parasitemia was inoculated into domestic cats. All inoculated cats developed a parasitemia, but none developed clinical signs of disease and none died of the disease. Cats subinoculated with parasitemic cat blood also developed parasitemias and they too did not develop clinical signs of infection nor died. After carrying the blood phase of Cytauxzoon felis for various periods, the domestic cats were then challenge exposed with proven lethal Cytauxzoon inoculum of domestic cat origin. All cats died of cytauxzoonosis.
从一只死于猫胞子虫病的实验感染佛罗里达山猫（Lynx rufus floridanus）身上采集的新鲜血液和/或脾脏匀浆，接种到家猫体内。所有接种的家猫都出现了猫胞子虫病的临床症状，并在接种后2周内死亡。从一只携带实验感染的猫胞子虫血症的东部山猫（Lynx rufus rufus）身上采集的类似材料，接种到家猫体内。所有接种的家猫都出现了寄生虫血症，但没有一只出现疾病的临床症状，也没有一只死于该病。用患有寄生虫血症的猫的血液再次接种的家猫也出现了寄生虫血症，它们也没有出现感染的临床症状，也没有死亡。在家猫携带猫胞子虫的血液阶段不同时间后，然后用经证实具有致死性的家猫源猫胞子虫接种物对其进行攻击暴露。所有的猫都死于胞子虫病。
