A survey for the prevalence of antibodies to Hepatozoon canis and for intraneutrophilic H. canis gametocytes in the peripheral blood neutrophils of dogs in Israel showed that 33.1% were seropositive, while only 1% of the dogs sampled had detectable parasites in their blood smears. Exposure to H. canis is widespread but it appears that most infected dogs undergo a subclinical infection and only a small proportion develop clinical disease.
一项针对以色列犬类血液中性粒细胞中犬肝簇虫抗体流行情况以及嗜中性粒细胞内犬肝簇虫配子体的调查显示，33.1%的犬血清呈阳性，而在采集血涂片样本的犬中，只有1%的犬血液中可检测到寄生虫。犬类接触犬肝簇虫的情况很普遍，但似乎大多数受感染的犬会经历亚临床感染，只有一小部分会发展为临床疾病。
