Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Blood Parasite Infections and Impacts on Avian Health and Reproduction

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in nature, but their consequences are often difficult to evaluate in wildlife. This is particularly the case for chronic infections for which fitness impacts can be subtle or confounded with other intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

High resolution melting analysis of the 18S rRNA gene for the rapid diagnosis of bovine babesiosis

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Bovine babesiosis is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia and presents a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Disease severity depends on the type of Babesia species infection. Generally, B. bovis and B.

Investigation of the Blood Microbiome in Horses With Fever of Unknown Origin

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Fever of unknown origin (FUO) without a respiratory component is a frequent clinical presentation in horses. Multiple pathogens, both tick‐borne and enteric, can be involved as etiologic agents. An additional potential mechanism is intestinal barrier dysfunction.

Epidemiology of Ticks and Tick‐Borne Hemopathogens of Cattle in Two Selected Districts of Northwest Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
The overall prevalence of tick infestation and tick‐borne haemopathogens of cattle in the study area was 87.8% and 17.1%, respectively. Five species of ticks under three genera were detected; namely: Amblyomma variegatum, Amblyomma lepidum, Rhipicephalus evertsi, Hyalomma rufipes and Rhipicephalus decoloratus were identified.

Efficient Transovarial Transmission of Babesia Spp. in Rhipicephalus microplus Ticks Fed on Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Pathogens, 2020
Water buffaloes can be infected by tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) in endemic areas where cattle and buffalo coexist. Among TBPs affecting buffaloes is the Apicomplexan hemoparasites Babesia bovis and B. bigemina, transmitted by Rhipicephalus microplus ticks.

Proteomic Identification and Functional Analysis of Babesia microti Reveals Heparin‐Binding Proteins

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) molecules on the surface of red blood cells play an important regulatory role in the invasion of merozoites of apicomplexan protozoa. Heparan sulfate, a type of GAG molecule, has been identified as an important receptor facilitating the invasion of red blood cells by these parasites.

ASSESSMENT OF PRIMERS DESIGNED FROM THE SMALL RIBOSOMAL SUBUNIT RNA FOR SPECIFIC DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN BABESIA BIGEMINA AND BABESIA BOVIS BY PCR

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2006
Six pairs of species-specific primers were designed from the alignment of the sequences of the SS rRNA gene obtained from the Genbank database for Babesia bigemina (accession number X59604) and for B. bovis (accession number U06105).

Hyalomma marginatum in Europe: The Past, Current Status, and Future Challenges—A Systematic Review

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Hyalomma marginatum is a prominent tick vector responsible for transmitting various pathogens, including the Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), across Europe. This systematic review consolidates findings from 144 publications regarding the geographical distribution of H. marginatum and its associated pathogens.
