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...
Canine babesiosis is a severe disease caused by several Babesia spp. A number of names have been proposed for the canine-infecting piroplasmid pathogen initially named Theileria annae Zahler, Rinder, Schein & Gothe, 2000. It was shown to be member (sensu lato) group infecting carnivores and also closely related microti group. Subsequently, same parasite species reclassified as genus name vulpes Baneth, Florin-Christensen, Cardoso Schnittger, 2015 it. However, both do not meet requirements...
Free-living ungulates are hosts of ixodid ticks and reservoirs tick-borne microorganisms in central Europe many regions around the world. Tissue samples engorged were obtained from roe deer, red fallow mouflon, wild boar hunted deciduous forests south-western Slovakia. DNA isolated these was screened for presence by PCR-based methods.Ticks found to infest all examined ungulate species. The principal infesting tick Ixodes ricinus, identified on 90.4% wildlife, included developmental stages....
Babesiosis is an emerging and potentially zoonotic disease caused by tick-borne piroplasmids of the Babesia genus. New genetic variants with unknown associations to vectors hosts are recognized. Data on occurrence spp. in ticks wildlife widen knowledge geographical distribution circulation natural foci. Questing rodent-attached ticks, rodents, birds were screened for presence Babesia-specific DNA using molecular methods. Spatial temporal differences prevalence rodents from two contrasting...
Abstract: Theileria and Babesia are tick‐transmitted protozoa that cause great economical losses in livestock. Recently, interest has risen sheep‐infecting piroplasms a number of previously unidentified pathogens were described, particularly China. To address the phylogenetic relationship species infecting sheep, complete sequences 18 S small subunit ribosomal RNA genes panel piroplasm isolates, including T. lestoquardi , ovis separata B. motasi crassa several novel species, compared. The...
Human infections with the tissue nematode Onchocerca volvulus result in a variety of clinical conditions that possibly include protective immunity. In West African area hyperendemic for human onchocerciasis, 120 residents were classified according to and laboratory findings as presenting generalized localized or being putatively immune. The three groups differed distribution HLA-D variants determined by DNA typing. most pronounced differences found among alleles DQ loci. haplotype...
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.
The genetic diversity of the bovine class II DRB3 locus was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and DNA sequencing first domain exon. Studying 34 animals various cattle breeds, 14 previously unrecognized alleles were identified. In three alleles, amino acid substitutions observed that had not been found in DRB3, but occurred at same position DQB DRB other mammals. For all newly identified restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns PCR products obtained...
