Molecular and morphological methods were evaluated to distinguish between Haemonchus contortus placei species. A total of 141 H. 89 male adult specimens collected from artificially infected lambs identified individually by PCR analysis, using a species-specific primer pair. These results used as gold standard for spp. identification. presented higher mean spicule barb lengths than (P<0.05). However, some measurements overlapped. For this reason, discriminate function did not allow the...

This study describes the occurrence of dogs naturally co-infected with Hepatozoon canis and two Leishmania species: L. infantum or braziliensis. Four serologically diagnosed Visceral Leishmaniasis were euthanized. Liver spleen samples collected for histopathological analysis DNA isolation. H. meronts observed in tissues from all four dogs. infection was confirmed by PCR followed sequencing a fragment 18S rRNA gene. detection typing ITS1' PCR-RFLP parasite burden calculated using ssrRNA...

Rangelia vitalii is a haemoparasite that infects erythrocytes, white blood cells and the cytoplasm of endothelial capillaries canids in South America, has been detected both domestic dogs sylvatic canids. Hepatozoon canis parasite neutrophils monocytes many mammalian hosts. This study reports infection Lycalopex gymnocercus from Santa Catarina, Brazil, with R. H. canis. The piroplasm was observed on smears molecular tests. Many large piroplasms were inside round, oval, or teardrop-shaped...

Abstract Members of the genus Hepatozoon (Miller, 1908) are blood parasites found in a wide range host species, including wild rodents; however, information about life cycle, distribution and species diversity infecting these mammals lacking. We studied parasite stages DNA sequences sp. 11 naturally infected Akodon montensis . Thin smears, tissue samples whole were obtained for morphology, morphometry molecular analyses. Seven rodents had gamonts on smears. Biological morphological features...

Based on the genetic, morphological, and morphometric data of blood gamonts, we identified Hepatozoon parasites in colubrid snakes sampled Eastern Amazon region. trigeminum was detected mussurana snake Clelia clelia exhibited wide elongated gamonts (mean dimensions: 14.25±0.65 × 4.31±0.43 μm) with an evident parasitophorous vacuole. odwyerae sp. nov. described indigo Drymarchon corais, whose have thin bodies 13.41±0.79 3.72±0.35 one end more tapered than other. Phylogenetic analyses, based...
