CARVAJAL, Verónica et al. First report of hepatozoonsis in a dog from Tamaulipas, Mexico. Vet. Méx [online]. 2012, vol.43, n.1, pp.71-76. ISSN 0301-5092.
A 3-year-old male Bloodhound dog was presented to a private veterinary hospital at Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico, with a 2-week history of weight loss, generalized weakness, anorexia and ptyalism. Results of a hemogram revealed moderate anemia with a chronic inflammatory leukogram. Also, various neutrophlis (approximately 10%) containing elongated pale blue staining intracytoplasmic inclusions, compatible with gametocytes of Hepatozoon spp were observed. Up until now, this is the first case report of canine hepatozoonosis detected in Tamaulipas.
