摘要：

This article aims to describe a clinical case of a dog naturally infected with Hepatozoon canis. Clinical findings, hematological parameters, parasitological, and molecular diagnosis and treatments were evaluated. On physical examination, this animal showed apathy, anorexia, pale mucosal, nasal and eye secretion, coughing, fever, and progressive weight loss. Gamonts of H. canis were observed within neutrophils in thin blood smears. Important hematological findings observed in this case consisted of severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis. A partial sequence of the 18S rRNA gene amplified and sequenced from the dog blood was 100% identical to H. canis. The animal was treated with imidocarb dipropionate, which had great curative efficacy to clinical hepatozoonosis. © 2011 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
