Anaplasma marginale has been detected in the Philippines only by peripheral blood smear examination and serological methods. This study generally aimed to molecularly detect characterize A. cattle ticks Cebu, Philippines. A total of 12 bovine samples 60 Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus were collected on Cebu Island 2011. 16S rRNA-based screening-PCR DNA sequencing revealed 8 (66.7%) (13.3%) be positive for marginale, 1 tick (1.7%) centrale. Selected further characterized based rRNA...
A total of 658 cattle in 6 provinces the Philippines were screened for Anaplasma marginale infection by using a diagnostic heat-shock operon (groEL) gene-PCR assay. The screening-positive samples further tested major surface antigen protein 1a (Msp1a) Screening PCR results showed 130 (19.8%) positive A. infection. Subsequent amplification Msp1a gene only 93 (14.1%) to be positive. In addition, 37 tandem-repeat structures, including 20 novel and 41 distinct genotypes identified....
Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled intracellular apicomplexan parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. It capable of infecting humans and nearly all warm-blooded animals including pigs, but cats are the only known definitive host. This ubiquitous zoonotic pathogen can cause abortion, stillbirth fetal abnormalities, has been associated with mental behavioral changes in humans. Acute infection potentially fatal immunocompromised individuals. The present study aimed to assess seroprevalence after...
Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and Babesia spp. are canine pathogens transmitted by the Rhipicephalus sanguineus tick which can cause varied clinical signs. These have been investigated in Philippines, but coinfection has not reported yet.The aim of this study was to evaluate presence Ehrlichia/Anaplasma Philippine dogs.A total 100 dogs from seven different veterinary establishments Cebu, were examined for infection using peripheral blood smear examination polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Inclusion...
Gastrointestinal (GIT) parasites can affect poultry productivity by compromising its health. It is well studied in other countries, but the documented reports Philippines have been limited.The aim of present study was to evaluate presence GIT selected small-scale layer farms Leyte, Philippines.A total 243 stool samples from eight Philippines, were examined for using floatation and sedimentation technique. Profile parameters also obtained. Fecal collected analyzed techniques. Statistical...
Toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is one of the most common parasitic diseases worldwide. The GRA7 T. gondii (TgGRA7) an essential component parasitophorous vacuole (PV) and PV membrane surrounding tachyzoites cyst wall bradyzoites. While it has been widely employed as antigen for ELISA, there only study that reported its potential immunochromatographic test (ICT) in pigs. There no yet documenting ICT serodiagnosis infection cats. In this study, we assessed efficacy using TgGRA7...
Bovine babesiosis represents a serious threat to the cattle industry in tropics and subtropics. Although several Babesia species infect cattle, only B. bovis, bigemina divergens are known cause clinical babesiosis. However, our recent study demonstrated that newly discovered sp. Mymensingh might be virulent capable of causing cattle. The objective this was determine host range geographical distribution on global scale. A total 2,860 archived DNA samples from 2,263 Sri Lanka (n = 672),...
Aim: Anaplasma platys, the causative agent of infectious canine cyclic thrombocytopenia, is a tick-borne pathogen that also has been implicated as potentially zoonotic.To provide molecular evidence on multiple infections A. platys variants in Philippine dogs.Materials and Methods: DNA fragments from infected dogs Philippines were molecularly characterized.For screening, 25 suspected to have anaplasmosis tested using 16S rRNA-based nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Infection was...
Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) parasites affect the health of dogs and may also be zoonotic. The prevalence these has been well studied in several countries, but reports Philippines have limited.This study generally aimed to detect presence common GIT owned shelter Cebu, Philippines.A total 200 fecal samples (130 from 70 dogs) were collected. Profiles their owners obtained. Fecalysis was performed using three methods: Direct smear, sedimentation, flotation techniques.Majority sampled 5 years...
The study aimed to document the clinical and hematological observations of dogs found serologically positive for Ehrlichia canis identify parameters or factors that are associated with disease focus on anemic thrombocytopenic state infected dogs.From 7 participating veterinary establishments, a total 913 cases from 2003 2014 were initially assessed using inclusion criteria, including E. diagnosis by attending veterinarian presence ticks history infestation, thrombocytopenia, and/or anemia....
Hemotropic mycoplasma (hemoplasma), a neglected vector-borne pathogen in goats, causes extensive economic damage to farmers due production losses. In this study, 107/295 (36.27%) goats sampled from 4 farms (Barili, Danao City, Dumanjug and Minglanilla) Cebu, Philippines tested positive for PCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma. All hemoplasma-positive were Barili no clinical sign was observed. Sex (P=0.0005) age (P=0.03) found associated with hemoplasma infection. Mycoplasma ovis,...
Tick-borne diseases (TBD) cause enormous losses for farmers. Backyard raising comprises majority of the livestock population in Philippines, but TBD information backyard is scarce. In this study, 48 cattle and 114 water buffalo samples from Quezon province, Philippines were molecularly screened tick-borne pathogens. Anaplasma marginale (16.67%) hemoplasma (20.99%) detected samples. A. infection (P=0.0001) was significantly higher cattle, while (P=0.011) buffaloes. isolates study highly...
ABSTRACT Neospora caninum is an apicomplexan parasite that causes abortion in cattle; hence, accurate diagnosis of this pathogen important to the cattle farming industry. Our previous proteomics and immunoscreening analyses revealed N. subtilisin-like serine protease 1 (NcSUB1) has potential as a serodiagnostic tool for . Consequently, we expressed two fragments containing five NcSUB1 tandem repeat copies covering amino acids (aa) 524 843 (NcSUB1t) 555 679 (NcSUB1tr) identify antigenic...
Goats are key livestock animals and goat raising is an income-generating venture for smallholder farmers, supporting agricultural development in many parts of the world. However, production often limited by various factors, such as tick-borne diseases. Goat piroplasmosis a disease caused apicomplexan parasites Babesia spp. Theileria spp., while anaplasmosis bacterial Anaplasma In Philippines, presence Babesia, Theileria, has not been reported goats. this study, DNA obtained from goats were...
Artificial insemination (AI) is a reproductive biotechnology that may be influenced by several factors, including the profile of technicians and practices used. Assessing technician's their AI can significant in improving success rate.This study aimed to know current used (AITs), determine rates water buffaloes Leyte, Samar, Biliran from 2011 2015, evaluate possible association between parameters investigated.A total 50 AITs Samar Biliran, Philippines, were interviewed using fixed...
