Babesia microti Immunoreactive Rhoptry-Associated Protein-1 Paralogs Are Ancestral Members of the Piroplasmid-Confined RAP-1 Family

Pathogens, 2021
Babesia, Cytauxzoon and Theileria are tick-borne apicomplexan parasites of the order Piroplasmida, responsible for diseases in humans and animals. Members of the piroplasmid rhoptry-associated protein-1 (pRAP-1) family have a signature cysteine-rich ...

Mapping the Global Distribution of Babesia Infections

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Understanding the ecological niches and quantifying the disease burden of Babesia species is essential for efficient surveillance and control strategies. Through a systematic review of global distributions, we document all 250 identified Babesia species across 73 vector species, 224 animals, and humans.

Prevalence and Risk Factor Analysis of Feline Blood‐Borne Pathogens in Bangkok and Vicinities, Thailand

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Feline blood‐borne pathogens are important infectious agents of cats that can cause subclinical to severe disease. Awareness of the risks associated with transfusing contaminated blood can reduce morbidity in recipients. Understanding the prevalence and risk factors of these infections is crucial for identifying pathogens that should be screened in ...

18S sequence alone is unable to completely resolve phylogeny of the Piroplasmida.

, 2016
Summary topologies of Piroplasmida phylogenetic trees based on 18S rRNA sequence analyses in four previously reported studies [7, 9–11]. The nomenclature of sub-groupings assigned in each study is maintained in each individual tree.

Analytic Approaches in Genomic Epidemiological Studies of Parasitic Protozoa

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) plays an important role in the advanced characterization of pathogen transmission and is widely used in studies of major bacterial and viral diseases. Although protozoan parasites cause serious diseases in humans and animals, WGS data on them are relatively scarce due to the large genomes and lack of cultivation techniques

Apicoplast‐Resident Processes: Exploiting the Chink in the Armour of Plasmodium falciparum Parasites

Advances in Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The discovery of a relict plastid, also known as an apicoplast (apicomplexan plastid), that houses housekeeping processes and metabolic pathways critical to Plasmodium parasites’ survival has prompted increased research on identifying potent inhibitors that can impinge on apicoplast‐localised processes.

Epidemiology and molecular phylogeny of Babesia sp. in Little Penguins Eudyptula minor in Australia

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
Blood parasites are potential threats to the health of penguins and to their conservation and management. Little penguins Eudyptula minor are native to Australia and New Zealand, and are susceptible to piroplasmids (Babesia), hemosporidians (Haemoproteus,
