Theileria in Ruminants

, 2017
Theileria are important hemoprotozoan parasites of domestic and wild ruminants, transmitted by ixodid ticks leading to diseases which range from mild in apparent reactions to highly fatal diseases. Bovine-infecting T. parva and T. annulata and ovine-infecting T. lestoquardi are of major global economic importance, but other Theileria spp.

Theileria taurotragiin Zambia

Veterinary Quarterly, 1986
Theileria sp. (Bwengwa) of low virulence was isolated by feeding R. appendiculatus ticks collected from the field on a susceptible calf and subsequently transmitted between cattle by R. appendiculatus ticks- Theileria sp. (Bwengwa) was shown to be T. taurotragi on parasitological, clinical and serological grounds. T.

Theileria lestoquardi displays reduced genetic diversity relative to sympatric Theileria annulata in Oman [PDF]

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016
The Apicomplexan parasites, Theileria lestoquardi and Theileria annulata, the causative agents of theileriosis in small and large ruminants, are widespread in Oman, in areas where cattle, sheep and goats co-graze. Genetic analysis can provide insight into the dynamics of the parasite and the evolutionary relationship between species. Here we identified

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

A promising new ELISA diagnostic test for cattle babesiosis based on Babesia bigemina Apical Membrane Antigen-1. [PDF]

, 2016
Babesiosis due to Babesia bigemina is a relevant tick‑borne disease, affecting cattle worldwide. Many surface proteins of the pathogen including the Apical Membrane Antigen 1 (AMA‑1) ‑ have been analysed for vaccine and diagnostic purposes.

Structural and Functional Characterization of the 28 kDa Structured Core of BmSA1, the Major Surface Antigen of Babesia Microti

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1657-1671, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Babesiosis is a tick‐borne disease that poses a significant threat to animal health worldwide. In addition, climate change and the risk of human‐to‐human transmission through blood transfusion have made babesiosis an emerging disease in humans.

Comparative Genome Analysis of Three Eukaryotic Parasites with Differing Abilities To Transform Leukocytes Reveals Key Mediators of Theileria-Induced Leukocyte Transformation

mBio, 2012
We sequenced the genome of Theileria orientalis, a tick-borne apicomplexan protozoan parasite of cattle. The focus of this study was a comparative genome analysis of T. orientalis relative to other highly pathogenic Theileria species, T.

Prevalence and Sequence Analysis of Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Diseases in Stray Cats in Istanbul

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Istanbul, the largest metropolis in Türkiye, is home to a notable population of stray cats. While cats enrich the city's culture, they can also transmit various diseases, posing diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aimed to detect infections in stray cats using PCR and sequencing to identify Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella, Hepatozoon ...

Praziquantel in clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis [PDF]

, 1981
A single stool examination revealed pathogenic intestinal parasites in 462 (58%) of 796 vietnamese and cambodian refugees. 56 (7.0%) were infected with Clonorchis sinensis and/or Opisthorchis viverrini. These patients received Praziquantel in a dosage of

Equine fasciolosis due to Fasciola hepatica in the Community of Madrid (Spain): First report of a rare parasitic infection in horses

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract We reported for the first time a confirmed case of equine fasciolosis in the Community of Madrid (Spain). Here, we described the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and treatment of the affected horse, as well as the seroprevalence of Fasciola hepatica in the equestrian centre where it was detected.
