Confirmation of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) as a Vector for Cytauxzoon felis (Piroplasmorida: Theileriidae) to Domestic Cats
Unengorged A. americanum and D. variabilis were collected from wild habitats to determine the minimum infection rate of C. felis in tic...ks from an enzootic area. Infection of C. felis was found only in wild-collected A. americanum. The minimum infection rate of C. felis in A. americanum was 0.5% (one of 178) in males, 0.8% (three of 393) in nymphs, and 1.5% (three of 197) in females. We found no wild-collected D. variabilis infected with C. felis. Our results confirm that A. americanum is a primary vector of C. felis.===========

Wonder what all else they are going to find in our ticks that keep us sick....
