Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis [PDF]

, 1998
Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a neurologic disease of horses caused by the apicomplexan protozoa Sarcocystis neurona, an organism which is thought to be genetically identical to Sarcocystis falcatula.

Molecular phylogeny of Toxoplasmatinae: comparison between inferences based on mitochondrial and apicoplast genetic sequences

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2016
Phylogenies within Toxoplasmatinae have been widely investigated with different molecular markers. Here, we studied molecular phylogenies of the Toxoplasmatinae subfamily based on apicoplast and mitochondrial genes.

IMMUNOPATHOLOGIC EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH SARCOCYSTIS NEURONA–INFECTED INTERFERON-GAMMA KNOCKOUT MICE [PDF]

Journal of Parasitology, 2003
Interferon-gamma knockout (IFN-gamma KO) mice were infected with Sarcocystis neurona merozoites to characterize the immunopathology associated with infection. By day 14 postinfection (PI), mice developed splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy, characterized by marked lymphoid hyperplasia with increased numbers of germinal centers.

Characterization of mRNA polyadenylation in the apicomplexa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Messenger RNA polyadenylation is a universal aspect of gene expression in eukaryotes. In well-established model organisms, this process is mediated by a conserved complex of 15-20 subunits.

A Polytropic Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Virus Promoter Isolated from Multiple Tissues from a Sheep with Multisystemic Lentivirus-Associated Inflammatory Disease [PDF]

, 2013
Caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) is a lentivirus that infects both goats and sheep and is closely related to maedi-visna virus that infects sheep; collectively, these viruses are known as small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV).

Development of Sarcocystis falcatula in cell cultures demonstrates that it is different from Sarcocystis neurona [PDF]

Parasitology, 1999
The development of Sarcocystis falcatula merozoites in bovine turbinate (BT) cell cultures is described and compared with development of Sarcocystis neurona merozoites. Merozoites of S. falcatula entered BT cell cultures and increased in size until 3 days post-inoculation when the nucleus of some merozoites developed lobes.

Comparison of Sarcocystis neurona isolates derived from horse neural tissue

Veterinary Parasitology, 2001
Sarcocystis neurona is a protozoan parasite that can cause neurological deficits in infected horses. The route of transmission is by fecal-oral transfer of sporocysts from opossums. However, the species identity and the lifecycle are not completely known.

Sarcocystis neurona‐Specific Immunoglobulin G in the Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid of Horses Administered S neurona Vaccine [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2004
A vaccine againstSarcocystis neurona,which induces equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM), has received conditional licensure in the United States. A major concern is whether the immunoglobulin G (IgG) response elicited by the vaccine will compromise the use of Western blotting (WB) as a diagnostic tool in vaccinated horses with neurologic disease ...
