Radiography revealed no clinically relevant abnormalities. Hematologic analysis results were generally unremarkable, and serologic tests for exposure to feline coronavirus, FeLV, FIV, and <jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic> were negative. Results of PCR assays for flea- and common tick-borne organisms other than <jats:italic>Bartonella clarridgeiae<\/jats:italic> were negative.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"s003\">\n<jats:title>TREATMENT AND OUTCOME<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Ticks were manually removed, and the patient received supportive care and fipronil treatment. The bobcat made a full recovery within 72 hours after treatment for ticks, and a presumptive diagnosis of tick paralysis was made. Identified tick species included <jats:italic>Dermacenter variabilis, Amblyomma americanum<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Ixodes scapularis<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"s004\">\n<jats:title>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>To the authors\u2019 knowledge, tick paralysis has not previously been reported in felids outside Australia. This disease should be considered a differential diagnosis in felids, including exotic cats, with signs of neuromuscular disease of unknown etiopathogenesis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.256.3.362","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,21]],"date-time":"2020-01-21T14:44:08Z","timestamp":1579617848000},"page":"362-364","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Tick paralysis in a free-ranging bobcat (Lynx rufus)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"256","author":[{"given":"Meredith E.","family":"Persky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Animal Health, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, 370 Zoo Pkwy, Jacksonville, FL 32218."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yousuf S.","family":"Jafarey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Animal Health, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, 370 Zoo Pkwy, Jacksonville, FL 32218."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah E.","family":"Christoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Animal Health, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, 370 Zoo Pkwy, Jacksonville, FL 32218."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dewey D.","family":"Maddox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Animal Health, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, 370 Zoo Pkwy, Jacksonville, FL 32218."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie A.","family":"Stowell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Georgia Sea Turtle Center, 214 Stable Rd, Jekyll Island, GA 31527."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Terry M.","family":"Norton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Georgia Sea Turtle Center, 214 Stable Rd, Jekyll Island, GA 31527."},{"name":"3Jekyll Island Authority, 100 James Rd, Jekyll Island, GA 31527."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Georgis' parasitology for veterinarians","first-page":"1","author":"Bowman","year":"2003"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Today's Vet Pract","first-page":"69","article-title":"Parasitology expertise from the NCVP: feline tick-borne diseases","volume":"5","author":"Nagamori","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"J Appl Microbiol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"743","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2672.2010.04679.x","article-title":"Bartonellosis, an increasingly recognized zoonosis","volume":"109","author":"Chomel","year":"2010"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Proceedings.
