A Review of Methods for Detection of Hepatozoon Infection in Carnivores and Arthropod Vectors.

摘要: Abstract Vector-borne protists of the genus Hepatozoon belong to apicomplexan suborder Adeleorina. The taxonomy is unsettled and different phylogenetic clades probably represent evolutionary units deserving status separate genera. Throughout our review, we focus on monophyletic assemblage spp. from carnivores, classified as sensu stricto that includes important pathogens domestic free-ranging canine feline hosts. We provide an overview diagnostic methods approaches classical detection in biological materials, through serological tests nucleic acid amplification (NAATs). Critical review used primers for 18S rDNA provided, together with information individual primer pairs. Extension NAATs target cover also mitochondrial genes suggested a key step understanding diversity molecular epidemiology infections mammals.
