Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Theileriosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Theileria annulata, an intracellular parasite that belongs to the phylum Apicomplexa. The infective forms of the parasite to cattle are sporozoites that are introduced into the host when the infected ticks ...

Development of fluorogenic probe-based PCR assays for the detection and quantification of bovine piroplasmids. [PDF]
, 2009 This paper reports two new quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays, developed in an attempt to improve the detection of bovine piroplasmids. The first of these techniques is a duplex TaqMan assay for the simultaneous diagnosis of Babesia bovis and B.

Distribution of Ticks and Prevalence of Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Multiple Regions of China
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens pose significant threats to livestock and public health. While tick occurrences have been reported in China, systematic assessments of pathogen risk factors across diverse hosts and regions remain limited. This study investigated tick distribution, prevalence, and associated pathogen infections across seven sampling sites

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) threaten livestock productivity and public health worldwide, and climate–land‐use change is expanding vector habitats, elevating tick‐borne disease risk. However, TBP diversity and risk in Hubei Province, central China, remain insufficiently defined within a One Health framework.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Ticks are major vectors of numerous pathogens affecting both livestock and humans. In Senegal, data on the diversity of tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) in ruminant‐associated ticks remain limited. In total, 1703 ticks were collected from goats, sheep, and cattle across three ecological zones of Senegal (Sudanian, Sahelian, and Sudano‐Sahelian).

Bovipain-2, the falcipain-2 ortholog, is expressed in intraerythrocytic stages of the tick-transmitted hemoparasite Babesia bovis [PDF]
, 2010 Background Cysteine proteases have been shown to be highly relevant for Apicomplexan parasites. In the case of Babesia bovis, a tick-transmitted hemoparasite of cattle, inhibitors of these enzymes were shown to hamper intraerythrocytic replication of the

Highly divergent apicomplexan cytoskeletons provide additional models for actin biology
The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 24, Page 6459-6480, December 2025.Actin is a highly conserved, abundant and central molecule in eukaryotes. Apicomplexans contain some of the most sequence‐divergent actin cytoskeletons known. This divergence results in overlapping yet different biochemical properties. Here, we highlight the remarkable divergence of the actin cytoskeleton by comparing apicomplexan to classical systems,

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.
