Abstract

Hepatazoon species are apicomplexan parasites belonging to the Heptazoidae family, and phylogenetically they are closely related to piroplasms and hemosporinids. This study was performed on Hepatozoon canis positive ticks collected from dogs to perform sequencing of their 18S rRNA genetic section using the PCR method. Tick collection was carried out from a total of 80 dogs in Siirt, located in the Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey. A total of 300 collected ticks were morphologically identified to the species level and all ticks identified as R. sanguineus (s.l.). H. canis DNA was detected in 12 (%4) out of 300 in R. sanguineus ticks by PCR. The phylogenetic tree created by the comparison of amplified 18S rRNA region sequences of H. canis with MT107097.1, MH595911.1, KT215377.1, KT 215376.1, KC 584780.1, KC 584777.1, KC 584775.1, and KC 584774.1. The results obtained will provide important reference material for both veterinary physicians and dog owners in terms of managing Canine hepatozoonosis.
