Molecular detection of Babesia and Theileria from crossbred cattle in Sirajganj and Rangpur districts of Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 899-906, March 2023., 2023
By using molecular tools 12.2% Theileria, 4.7% Babesia, and 1.8% mixed infections were detected. B. Bigemina isolates (MH790974 Sirajganj) T. annulata (LC439356 Sirajganj) are highly conserved species and Theileria sp (LC419995.1 Rangpur) was found as a different genetic clade which may introduced from neighboring India and Myanmar Abstract Background ...

Parasite load and genotype are associated with clinical outcome of piroplasm-infected equines in Israel

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Equine piroplasmosis is a highly endemic protozoan disease of horses worldwide, caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. While most horses in endemic areas are subclinically infected, the mechanisms leading to clinical outcome are vastly ...

Onchocerca sp. in an imported Zangersheide gelding causing suspensory ligament desmitis

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 735-739, March/April 2023., 2023
Abstract A 5‐year‐old imported Zangersheide gelding was evaluated for SC swellings over both forelimbs and lameness localized to the distal metacarpus. Ultrasound examination of the SC masses was compatible with verminous granulomas. Linear hyperechoic foci were present within the suspensory ligament branches of both forelimbs, suggestive of ...

Mapping and monitoring tick (Acari, Ixodida) distribution, seasonality, and host associations in the United Kingdom between 2017 and 2020

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 152-163, March 2023., 2023
The risk of tick‐borne disease is linked to the distribution, seasonal activity and host associations of vector species, all of which can be informed by surveillance and citizen science The Tick Surveillance Scheme (established since 2005) in the United Kingdom monitors distribution changes in Ixodes ricinus and other native or imported vector species ...

Review of Equine Piroplasmosis

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2013
Abstract Equine piroplasmosis is caused by one of 2 erythrocytic parasites Babesia caballi or Theileria equi. Although the genus of the latter remains controversial, the most recent designation, Theileria, is utilized in this review. Shared pathogenesis includes tick-borne transmission and erythrolysis leading to anemia as the primary

Molecular detection and characterisation of Theileria in hard ticks of small ruminants in Zarrin Dasht County, Southern Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 372-379, January 2023., 2023
Herds of small ruminants in Zarrin Dasht County were scrutinised for hard tick infestation. Hard ticked were collected from sheep and goats and examined under a Stereomicroscope for taxonomic identification. The prevalent species were Hyalomma marginatum (36.4%), Rhipicephalus turanicus (35.5%), Hyalomma anatolicum (26.6%), Hyalomma dromedarii (1.41 ...

Evaluation of the Inhibitory Effect of Moringa oleifera Leaves Methanolic Extract against In Vitro Growth of Several Babesia Species and Theileria equi and the In Vivo Growth of Babesia microti

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The current study evaluated the inhibitory effect of Moringa oleifera leaves methanolic extract (MOL) against the in vitro growth of Babesia bovis (B. bovis), B. caballi, B. bigemina, and Theileria equi (T. equi), as well as in vivo growth of B. microti in mice.
