Failure of BCG to protect calves against Babesia divergens infection [PDF]
Nature, 1977 THE possible use of nonspecific immunity to control Babesia infections has not been much examined. Cattle treated with Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (1.25 µg per kg live weight) immediately before infection with B. argentina ( =B. bovis) were slightly more resistant than controls1.

Genome evolution in intracellular parasites: Microsporidia and Apicomplexa
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.Abstract Microsporidia and Apicomplexa are eukaryotic, single‐celled, intracellular parasites with huge public health and economic importance. Typically, these parasites are studied separately, emphasizing their uniqueness and diversity. In this review, we explore the huge amount of genomic data that has recently become available for the two groups. We

Use of polymerase chain reaction in verification and differential diagnosis of babesiosis pathogens
Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2020 Today, Babesia is recognized as one of the most common blood parasites in the world, which in terms of the number of cases of invasion is second only to trypanosomes (the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis and Chagas’ disease).

Sheep as a new experimental host for Babesia divergens [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2002 Babesia divergens was cultivated in sheep erythrocytes in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% Fetal Calf Serum (FCS) or sheep serum. In vitro cultures in sheep red blood cells were initiated with human erythrocytes infected in vitro with B. divergens Rouen 1987 or with gerbil blood infected with several isolates from bovine origin.

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 ...

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 ...

Quercetin as a Promising Antiprotozoan Phytochemical: Current Knowledge and Future Research Avenues
BioMed Research International, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Despite tremendous advances in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, only few antiparasitic drugs have been developed to date. Protozoan infections such as malaria, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis continue to exact an enormous toll on public health worldwide, underscoring the need to discover novel antiprotozoan drugs. Recently, there
