Cytauxzoon Felix detection kits

Cytauxzoonosis is an emerging, life-threatening infectious disease of domestic cats (Felis catus) caused by the tick-transmitted protozoan parasite Cytauxzoon felis. Cytauxzoon spp are apicomplexan parasites within the family Theileriidae along with their closest relatives of Theileria spp. C felis is transmitted to domestic cats by the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum). The natural host for C felis is the bobcat (Lynx rufus); reservoir hosts of the parasite include bobcats and domestic cats that survive infection.
