Prevalence of piroplasms in small ruminants in North-West Tunisia and the first genetic characterisation of Babesia ovis in Africa

Parasite, 2014
In this study, the prevalence of piroplasms in sheep and goats was assessed with Giemsa-stained blood smear examination, PCR and nested PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) to identify Babesia and Theileria species, respectively, in 338 ...

Molecular identification of badger-associated Babesia sp. DNA in dogs: updated phylogeny of piroplasms infecting Caniformia [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Piroplasms are unicellular, tick-borne parasites. Among them, during the past decade, an increasing diversity of Babesia spp. has been reported from wild carnivores. On the other hand, despite the known contact of domestic and wild carnivores (

Diversity of Haemaphysalis-associated piroplasms of ruminants in Central-Eastern Europe, Hungary [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Increasing numbers of genetic variants are being recognized among piroplasms, but the precise taxonomical status, the tick vector and the geographical range of several species or genotypes are still unknown.

Molecular and Serological Detection of Piroplasms in Horses from Nigeria

Pathogens, 2021
Equine piroplasmosis, an economically important disease of equids caused by the hemoprotozoan parasites Theileria equi, T. haneyi, and Babesia caballi, has a worldwide distribution. These parasites are transmitted by ixodid ticks.

First report of Theileria buffeli/Theileria orientalis group and identification of piroplasms via Nested PCR-based RLB Hybridization assay in zebu cattle in the Western Highlands of Cameroon [PDF]

Journal of Zoonotic Diseases, 2021
Piroplasms infections are tick-borne diseases caused by haemoparasite of the genus Theileria or Babesia. They have a great impact on livestock production, especially cattle in sub-Saharan countries.

Tick Infestation and Piroplasm Infection in Barbarine and Queue Fine de l’Ouest Autochthonous Sheep Breeds in Tunisia, North Africa

Animals, 2021
As ticks and tick-borne pathogens affect the productivity of livestock, searching for genetically resistant breeds to infestation by ticks may represent an alternative to the overuse of chemical drugs.
