The occurrence of hepatozoon in the gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) The occurrence of hepatozoon in the gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
Hepatozoon sciuri (Coles, 1914) is reported from gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) in Washington, D.C. and Maryland. Blood smears stained with Giemsa's stain revealed a parasitemia in 16 to 71% of the squirrels examined. A technique for laking the red cells and concentrating the white cells in blood samples demonstrated this protozoon to be present in every squirrel so tested.
