Identification of conserved peptides containing B-cell epitopes of Babesia bovis AMA-1 and their potential as diagnostics candidates.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020
The apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA-1) is a protein of the micronemes that is present in all organisms of the phylum Apicomplexa; it has been shown that AMA-1 plays an essential role for parasite invasion to target cells.

Participatory surveillance reveals marsh deer mortality event during an extraordinary flood in Ibera Wetlands, Argentina

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Mortality events of marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) have been historically described in the southern margins of its geographical range. Few documented cases show how environmental changes and pathogens interact to trigger mortality scenarios and reveal their causes.

Babesia bovis Rad51 ortholog influences switching of ves genes but is not essential for segmental gene conversion in antigenic variation

bioRxiv, 2020
The tick-borne apicomplexan parasite, Babesia bovis, a highly persistent bovine pathogen, expresses VESA1 proteins on the infected erythrocyte surface to mediate cytoadhesion.

Genetic Diversity of Babesia bovis MSA-1, MSA-2b and MSA-2c in China

Pathogens, 2020
The apicomplexan parasite Babesia bovis is a tick-borne intracellular hemoprotozoan parasite that is widespread across China. Genetic diversity is an important strategy used by parasites to escape the immune responses of their hosts. In our present study,

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.

Monitoring Pathogens in Free‐Living Large Herbivores in a Nature Reserve in the Netherlands

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Monitoring and surveillance of pathogens are crucial for safeguarding animal and public health. While passive surveillance is more common for wild and free‐living animals, active monitoring improves the detection and characterisation of specific pathogens relevant to animal and public health.

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.

Fatal acute clinical babesiosis in an adult gelding pony living in an endemic area

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page e280-e287, November 2024.
Summary Equine piroplasmosis is a haemoprotozoal disease caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. Clinical presentations vary in severity according to infectious load, host immunity and endemicity. In endemic regions, equine piroplasmosis is rarely acute or peracute in presentation. Here we report a case of a 10‐year‐old pony gelding presented for
