Molecular detection of tick-borne pathogen diversities in ticks from livestock and reptiles along the shores and adjacent islands of lake Victoria and lake Baringo, Kenya [PDF]

, 2017
Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) are responsible for some of the most serious emerging infectious diseases facing sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the rest of the world today (1, 2).

Cryopreservation of Babesia bovis for in vitro cultivation

Parasitology, 1982
SummaryThe most efficient procedure for cryopreserving viable Babesia bovis organisms for in vitro cultivation consists of freezing extracellular parasites in a solution of 10% (w/v) polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) using a cooling rate of 20 °C/min. Although cultures can be established from thawed infected erythrocytes, the plating efficiency is relatively ...

Metabarcoding using nanopore long‐read sequencing for the unbiased characterization of apicomplexan haemoparasites

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Apicomplexan haemoparasites generate significant morbidity and mortality in humans and other animals, particularly in many low‐to‐middle income countries. Malaria caused by Plasmodium remains responsible for some of the highest numbers of annual deaths of any human pathogen, whilst piroplasmids, such as Babesia and Theileria can have immense ...

Historical associations and spatiotemporal changes of pathogen presence in ticks in Canada: A systematic review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 1, Page 18-33, February 2024.
Abstract Background Starting in the early 20th century, ticks and their pathogens have been detected during surveillance efforts in Canada. Since then, the geographic spread of tick vectors and tick‐borne pathogens has steadily increased in Canada with the establishment of tick and host populations.

Zoonotic disease classification in wildlife: a theoretical framework for researchers

Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 63-77, January 2024.
Classification systems are useful tools for aggregating diseases to study them in more detail. However, the current systems are mainly designed for use in health care and fail to capture many details of zoonotic diseases. The goal of this study was to develop a framework for the classification of zoonotic diseases which can generate data useful to ...

Non-immunologic methods of diagnosis of babesiosis

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
The diagnosis of tick-borne diseases such as babesiosis still depends on observing the parasite in the infected erythrocyte. Microscopic observation is tedious and often problematic in both early and carrier infections.
