Feline Hepatozoon species from Brazil was molecular identified and characterized for the first time in São Paulo state, Brazil. Partial sequences of the 18S rRNA gene from the Hepatozoon from three naturally infected cats were analyzed. Sequences revealed that feline Hepatozoon was closely related to the canine Hepatozoon canis from Brazil.

Hepatozoonosis is a tick-borne infection caused by protozoan species of the Hepatozoon genus in the family Hepatozoidae. This study aimed to determine the presence and prevalence of Hepatozoon spp. in domestic cats and their ticks, to characterize the genotypes, to reveal phylogenetic relationships, and to assess the risk factors associated with infection.

Hepatozoonosis, caused by the protozoan Hepatozoon canis, is a prevalent blood disease affecting owned and stray dogs and cats. The prevalence of these parasites among companion animals in Thailand remains poorly understood. Diagnosing the old-world form of the disease is challenging due to the wide range of nonspecific clinical signs and the reliance on finding low levels of Hepatozoon gamonts in blood smears for conventional diagnosis.
