RESUMO -A hepatozoonose é uma doença transmitida por carrapatos, causada pelo protozoário Hepatozoon spp. que acomete uma grande variedade de animais. No Brasil, existem poucos relatos da doença em jaguatiricas (Leopardus pardalis) assim como dados sobre sua epidemiologia, patogenicidade, vetores e caracterização genética. Este trabalho tem por objetivo a ocorrência de Hepatozoon spp em uma jaguatirica de vida livre atendida em um Hospital Veterinário Escola, em Mato Grosso do Sul. No hemograma, durante a pesquisa de hemoparasitas, foi observado gametócito de Hepatozoon spp. em neutrófilo e monócito. Na análise hematológica constatou-se anemia microcítica normocrômica e leucocitose com neutrofilia, monocitose e linfopenia. Palavras-Chave:Gametócito; hemoparasita; animal silvestre. ABSTRACT -The hepatozoonosis is a tick-borne disease caused by protozoan Hepatozoon spp. affecting a wide range of animals. In Brazil, there are few reports of the disease in ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) as well as data on its epidemiology, pathogenicity, vectors and genetic characterization. This work aims the occurrence of Hepatozoon spp in a free ocelot life treated at a Veterinary School Hospital in Mato Grosso do Sul. In the CBC, when searching for hemoparasites was observed gametocyte of Hepatozoon spp. on neutrophils and monocytes. In hematological analysis it was found microcytic normochromic anemia and leukocytosis with neutrophilia, monocytosis and lymphopenia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
