ABSTRACT
The occurrence of Hepatozoon spp. in the blood cells of captive Boa constritor in captivity in the semi-arid of the Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil, was analyzed. Blood samples from Geochelone carbonaria (n = 6), Geochelone denticulata (n = 4), Boa Constrictor (n = 7), and Tupinanbis teguixim (n = 10) were used. All snakes presented Hepatozoon spp. in their blood cells, and few erythrocytes were infected. G. carbonaria, G. denticulate, and T. teguixim were negative for Hepatozoon spp. gametocytes research. This is the first report of the occurrence of Hepatozoon spp. in captive B. constritor in the studied area.
