FeLv |
| This Toxoplama lifestage replicates slowly |
Bradyzoites |

tick |
| With infection with any blood parasite may cause this clinical sign |
splenomegaly |

ticks/fleas |
| With feline heartworm disease the parasites are located |
in the lungs |
| The vector of heartworm is |
mosquito |

false |
| Once inside the blood cell the Babesia organism transforms into a tachyzoite |
false |
