A perspective on Theileria equi infections in donkeys.
The Japanese journal of veterinary research, 2009The donkey population has remained unchanged in the last two decades despite a decrease in the overall population of equids, emphasizing the usefulness of the donkey as a draught and pack animal. Piroplasmosis in donkeys, caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi, has been recognized as a serious problem of major economic importance as the affected ...

Protein Kinase Inhibitors Arrested the In-Vitro Growth of Theileria equi
Acta Parasitologica, 2020Theileria equi is an intra-erythrocytic apicomplexean protozoa that infect equines. Protein kinases (PK), key molecules of the apicomplexean life cycle, have been implicated as significant drug targets. The growth inhibitory efficacy of PK inhibitors against Theileria/Babesia animal parasites have not been documented so far.The present study aimed to ...

Babesia (Theileria) equi genotype A among Indian equine population
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2020Equine piroplasmosis, caused by Babesia (Theileria) equi, is well reported from many parts of India. However, literature regarding its prevalence from semi arid India is limited. Alongside, there is complete absence of information about genetic characterization of B.(T.) equi and the associated genotypes from India. In the present study, the prevalence

Inhibitory effect of allicin on the growth of Babesia and Theileria equi parasites
Parasitology Research, 2013Allicin is an active ingredient of garlic that has antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiprotozoal activity. However, the inhibitory effects of allicin on Babesia parasites have not yet been examined. In the present study, allicin was tested as a potent inhibitor against the in vitro growth of bovine and equine Babesia parasites and the in vivo

Serological and molecular detection of Theileria equi infection in horses in Hungary
Veterinary Parasitology, 2013The prevalence of Theileria equi infection was studied in 324 healthy horses from 27 farms in Hungary with cELISA and IFAT and the blood samples of 101 horses selected randomly were also examined by PCR. The results indicate that there are many stud farms where one or more horses are infected with T. equi.

Acute phase proteins in Andalusian horses infected with Theileria equi
The Veterinary Journal, 2014Clinical and laboratory findings were determined in 23 Andalusian horses in southern Spain that were positive for Theileria equi by PCR, including 16 mares at pasture (group A1) and seven stabled stallions (group B1). Five healthy mares at pasture (group A2) and five stabled stallions (group B2), all of which were negative for T. equi in Giemsa stained

Occurrence and genotyping of Theileria equi in dogs and associated ticks in Egypt
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2022Abstract Theileriosis is a tick‐borne protozoal disease caused by a piroplasm of the genus Theileria. Hard ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that serve as vectors of Theileria spp.

Repertoire of Theileria equi immunodominant antigens bound by equine antibody
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2013Theileriosis in horses and cattle is caused by tick-borne Apicomplexa parasites and results in death or life-long infection in their respective hosts. Transmission risk associated with persistent infection severely limits movement of horses and cattle resulting in economic losses. The recent reemergence of Theileria equi infection in U.S.

A serological study of Babesia caballi and Theileria equi in Thoroughbreds in Trinidad
Veterinary Parasitology, 2007Ninety-three (93) horses were investigated for serum antibodies to Theileria equi (T. equi) and Babesia caballi (B. caballi) using the immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Seventy-seven (82.8%) horses were seropositive; 31 (33.3%) were positive to T. equi compared to 64 (68.8%) to B.
