How Cats Can Transmit Infection
Cytauxzoonosis is a disease that affects cats. American dog ticks pass the
parasite to cats. The disease is typically found in areas of the south and
southeastern US where bobcats are prevalent. Cytauxzoonosis causes hemorrhaging
(excessive bleeding) in the spleen. Infected cats experience fever, lack of
appetite, difficulty breathing, jaundice, and pale gums. There is no known
treatment for cytauxzoonosis, which is almost always fatal.
