*2 common and 2 less common ''Isospora'' species
*Occasionally can cause disease
*Little pathogenicity
*Even if faecal oocyst count is high, other causes of [[Intestine Diarrhoea - Pathology|diarrhoea]] should be looked for
*''Hepatozoon americanum'' and subclinical ''H. canis'' in [[Bones Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology#Hepatozoon|periosteal bone formation]]
**Both are Tick borne diseases
***''H. canis'' – ''Rhipicephalus sanguineus''
***Ticks become infected by ingesting a blood meal containing macrophages and [[Neutrophils - WikiBlood|neutrophils]] infected with the parasite gamonts -> sexual replication in the gut of the tick -> oocysts containing infective sporozoites -> dogs ingest the tick schizogony occurs in numerous tissues[[Category:Coccidia]][[Category:Cat]]
