Hepatozoonosis is an emerging disease that continues to be reported in new countries, including South America. In Latin America, to date, a species of the causative agent has been identified, which is Hepatozoon canis, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato as the main vector. The objective of this research was to determine the presence of H. canis in peripheral blood samples from dogs suspected of having hemoparasitosis, treated at veterinarians in North Lima, using the conventional PCR technique and complemented with sequencing. For this purpose, 152 blood samples were collected from dogs with clinical signs and hematological values suspicious of hemoparasitosis. The variables evaluated for each dog were demographic characteristics, clinical signs, presence of ticks, hematological values, type of anemia, handling of dogs, and diagnosis of H. canis. The results demonstrated the presence of H. canis with 15.1% (23/152) of positive cases for the conventional PCR technique and one positive case (0.7%) for the blood smear technique. No association was found between positive dogs and demographic characteristics, clinical signs, presence of ticks or handling of dogs. Among the hematological values, only association with leukocytosis was found (p=0.0044). In conclusion, the presence of this hemoparasite was demonstrated in peripheral blood samples from dogs with suspected hemoparasitosis from Lima Norte in 2022.
