Der kleine Unbekannte – Hepatozoonose bei Hunden und Katzen

Die Hepatozoonose geht mit einem variablen klinischen Verlauf einher. Bei Anämien oder unspezifischer Symptomatik des Hundes sollte sie gegebenenfalls Berücksichtigung finden. Aber auf welche Besonderheiten ist in der Diagnostik bei Hund und Katze zu achten?
