Hepatozoon americanum and subclinical H. canis in periosteal bone formation
- Both are Tick borne diseases
  - H. canis – Rhipicephalus sanguineus
  - Ticks become infected by ingesting a blood meal containing macrophages and 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
