Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of Hepatozoon species infecting dogs in the municipality of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Brazil, using blood samples (n = 165) drawn from dogs. The species Hepatozoon canis was identified in 3.63% of the tested animals using molecular tools. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical relevance of this infection and the main arthropod vectors involved in its transmission.Keywords: Dogs, epidemiology, Hepatozoon canis, midwestern Brazil,… Show more

“…Hepatozoon canis infection was more prevalent (43.2%) among domestic dogs sampled in the present study than in dogs (3.63%) from urban areas from the same state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil (Ramos et al, 2015). The higher prevalence of H. canis among dogs from rural areas when compared to dogs from urban areas has been already reported in several states from Brazil (Rubini et al, 2008;Gomes et al, 2010;Ramos et al, 2010;Miranda et al, 2014;Ramos et al, 2015).…”

“…In Brazil, Hepatozoon canis infection has been reported in many regions and the occurrence rate may range from 8.6% to 100% in the southeastern region (MIRANDA et al, 2014;O'DWYER et al, 2001;SPOLIDORIO et al, 2009) and 3.6% to 73% in the central-western region (MELO et al, 2016;MUNDIM ECS. et al, 2008;PALUDO et al, 2003;RAMOS et al, 2015), while two cases with molecular analyses has been reported in the southern region (LASTA et al, 2009;MALHEIROS et al, 2016). Studies in northeastern Brazil have shown lower occurrence rates ranging from 0.49% in Pernambuco to 9.3% in Paraiba (BERNARDINO et al, 2016;RAMOS et al, 2010;ROTONDANO et al, 2015).…”

“…We observed 100% identicalness between our sequences with H. canis from Croatia and other regions of Brazil, suggesting either a geographic expansion of this infection or a recent increase in the efficiency in detecting these parasites. Recently, canine hepatozoonosis has been described in several Brazilian regions (RUBINI et al, 2008;MIRANDA et al, 2014;GONÇALVES et al, 2014;RAMOS et al, 2015;DEMONER et al, 2016). Many of these areas are also endemic for CVL and co-infection was indeed described in dogs from Rio Grande do Norte, but only through molecular analysis (GONÇALVES et al, 2014).…”

“…Molecular characterization indicated that Brazilian H. canis was closely related to isolates from Japan, presented 99% nucleotide identity with isolates from Israel and was found to be distantly related to H. americanum (RUBINI et al, 2005). In the following years, canine hepatozoonosis has also been described in several Brazilian regions (RUBINI et al, 2008;MIRANDA et al, 2014;GONÇALVES et al, 2014;RAMOS et al, 2015;DEMONER et al, 2016). Many of these areas are also endemic for CVL, and co-infection has already been described in dogs from Rio Grande do Norte based only on molecular analyses (GONÇALVES et al, 2014).…”
