Theileria annae is a tick-transmitted small piroplasmid that infects dogs and foxes in North America Europe. Due to disagreement on its placement the or Babesia genera, several synonyms have been used for this parasite, including Spanish dog isolate, microti-like, (Theileria) annae, cf. microti. Infections by parasite cause anemia, thrombocytopenia, azotemia but are mostly subclinical red (Vulpes vulpes). Furthermore, high infection rates detected among fox populations distant regions...
SUMMARY Bovine babesiosis caused by the tick-transmitted haemoprotozoans Babesia bovis, bigemina and divergens commonly results in substantial cattle morbidity mortality vast world areas. Although existing live vaccines confer protection, they have considerable disadvantages. Therefore, particularly countries where large numbers of are at risk, important research is directed towards improved vaccination strategies. Here a comprehensive overview currently used status quo experimental vaccine...

The tick-transmitted hemoparasite Babesia bovis causes an acute infection that results in persistence and immunity against challenge cattle control the initial parasitemia. Resolution of with this protozoal pathogen is believed to be dependent on products activated macrophages (Mphi), including inflammatory cytokines nitric oxide (NO) its derivatives. B. stimulates inducible synthase (iNOS) production NO bovine Mphi, chemical donors inhibit growth vitro. However, induction Mphi by babesial...
ABSTRACT The Babesia bovis merozoite surface antigen 1 (MSA-1), a member of the variable (VMSA) family, is an immunodominant glycoprotein which elicits antibodies that inhibit erythrocyte invasion. While antigenic polymorphism general feature vmsa genes, molecular basis and extent msa-1 sequence have not been well characterized. In this study we defined locus in biologically cloned Mexico Mo7 strain B. identified differences between MSA-1 antigenically dissimilar strains. We then determined...
ABSTRACT Members of the variable merozoite surface antigen ( vmsa ) gene family Babesia bovis encode membrane proteins involved in erythrocyte invasion. In this study, we have identified and sequenced complete 8.3-kb genomic locus containing msa-2 , a member family, biologically cloned Mexico Mo7 strain. Four tandemly arranged copies -related genes were found locus. The four genes, designated msa-2a 1 (which corresponds to originally described gene), 2 msa-2b msa-2c shown be transcribed...
Babesiosis is a protozoan tick-borne infection associated with anemia and life-threatening disease in humans, domestic wildlife animals. Dogs are infected by at least six well-characterized Babesia spp. that cause clinical disease. Infection piroplasmid species was detected light microscopy of stained blood smears from five sick dogs Israel prompted an investigation on the parasite's identity.
Sarcoptic mange, caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is a highly contagious and potentially fatal skin disease that affects wide range of mammals, including South American Camelids (SAC). Although presence mange has been described in vicuñas llamas northwestern Argentina, there are no previous records documenting its guanacos (Lama guanicoe) this region. We here describe case S. scabiei free-ranging guanaco Department Tilcara, Jujuy Province. The animal presented alopecic, erythematous...
We have examined the metabolism of three radiolabeled 1,2-diacylglycerols (DGs) in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Since lipids used are not appreciably taken up by cells, we a phosphatidylserine (PS)-based liposome fusion system to rapidly associate lipid species with plasma membrane. When 1,2-[1-14C]dioleoyl-sn-3-glycerol ([14C]DOG) is delivered this way, it converted predominantly phosphatidylcholine (PC) and triacylglycerol (TG) lesser extent, monoacylglycerol (MG) fatty acids (FA), as well...
Sarcocystis sp. are coccidian protozoans belonging to the Apicomplexa phylum. As other members of this phylum, they obligate intracellular parasites having a complex cellular machinery for invasion host cells. spp. display dixenous life cycles, involving predator and prey as definitive intermediate hosts, respectively. Specifically, these develop sarcocysts in tissues their ranging size from microscopic visible naked eye, depending on species. When hosts consume sarcocysts, infective forms...
