Brazil presents one of the richness fauna in the world, being the first in the rank of amphibian biodiversity and the third in the rank of reptile biodiversity. Although many studies address the diversity of parasites in animals from the Neotropical region, some may present misidentifications of taxa. The objectives of this project are to identify and characterize the hemoparasites and he…
The genus Hepatozoon is a diverse group of parasites, with more than 300 species. Two species are known to cause disease in dogs, Hepatozoon canis and Hepatozoon americanum. In Brazil, studies have shown that H. canis is the species involved in hepatozoonosis canine wich vector are ixodids ticks. In our country, reports of infection in dogs are common especially in rural areas where anima…

Brazil is considered a country rich in wildlife, being the third placed in the ranking of reptile biodiversity and the first placed in the ranking of amphibiam biodiversity. However, there are a few studies on hemoparasites in these animals in the Neotropical region. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify and characterize the biodiversity of hemoparasite species associated with r…
Wild animals may serve as reservoirs for many diseases, including zoonotic ones. Among them, babesiosis can infect domestic animals and men. Babesia species are the etiologic agent of this disease and infect the erythrocytes. The invertebrate hosts are ticks which can serve as vectors. Many Babesia species have been described around the world, in different animal hosts, including men, nev…
Hepatozoon species constitute a diverse group of parasites That include more than 300 Hepatozoon spp. Currently there are two species of Hepatozoon that infect dogs, Hepatozoon canis and Hepatozoon americanum. In Brazil, studies revealed that H. canis is the species involved in canine hepatozoonosis, whose vectors are ixodids ticks. In this country, reports of infection in dogs are common…
